week 6 thing 13

week 5 thing 12

I have explored both Google Reader and Google Search. I think I will be able to make good use of both. I didn't use the Tech-tivity prompt of "spider" for my advanced search. I used "bullying", and I did the advanced search for power point presentations. By discovering this feature, I believe that I will be able to better locate resources for my guidance classes. Using the general search feature gives me too broad a range of resources. With advanced search, I will be better able to find resources suitable to my elementary school population.

week 4 thing 9

Enjoyed working on the blabberize, but I sure had a tough time figuring out the mouth! I want to work now on learning how to download some music (I know, I know, I'm in the dark ages!)so that I can try a blabber with recorded music. Now on to my next playground in Web 2.0!

week 3 thing 7

I have done quite a bit of photography, and I really enjoy working with photo editing tools. I think I might use some photo books/albums when featuring some of the smaller groups that I work with in school. I know children love to see themselves featured, and I hope to put photo editing and displaying to use in student recognition. Thing 7 was relaxing and a little more familiar to me. Now, on to the next "play" project!

Love working with photos. I hope to be doing much more of this in the future!

week 3 thing 6

OK. Frustration sets in again. I have been "playing" Toondoo for hours, and I managed to make my 2 frame cartoon. I had trouble saving it. It would say that it was saved, but when I tried to go to the gallery or a page to see it, it would say that it wasn't there. I did email it to myself, but now I have to either redo it or figure out some way to get it to this blog!!!

playing with cartoons

I am amazed at how fast time flies when I'm on the computer working on my workshop assignments. I start this morning right after my early morning run, and it's already 10:30 and I haven't had my first cup of coffee! Time out for a little java! :)

Wow! Cartoon making presentation

week 3 thing 5

Whew! This was a little challenging for this novice. For some reason I have a lot of trouble navigating from page to page and/or remembering the directions when I'm working on something new. I spend a lot of time going back and rereading, and I often go offline by accident. I know I'm making progress, but it is very slow. But..I will slog on with a smile! :)

week 2 thing 3 reflection

I can't even count how many times I must go back and forth from site to site to get even one simple "thing" completed, but I must honestly say that I have never before been online this long without totally blanking out! I'm enthralled with all this. I hope some of this will sink in so that I can rely on my memory for more than a few seconds! Great day! Time well spent indoors out of the heat!

Week 2 Reflection

Wow!  I did it.  I can't believe it's still here.  I must admit that I spent quite some time figuring out how to actually post after I set up the blog.  Having completed this first post, I am declaring a small victory!  On to Thing 3.....
