Delicious is a great website. I will defiantly use a website like delicious in my classroom. I could have used it earlier in the semester. It will come in handy when I want my students to research certain sites or when I am giving parents resource information as well.

Thing 16

Wow! That was a lot of infromation! All of them were very cool, so I just picked one and used it.
Which start page did you choose? I chose iGoogle. Why did that one appeal to you? I just liked all of the different options that it had to costomize it. I will likely go back and look closer at the other ones as well. Will you make it your permanent home page? Not yet but I will when I have given the other ones a chance to hepl me decide for sure.
How can the online calendars be useful to you? I can use it for my students and parents to be able to see what is coming up in the class. I can also use it for my own personal calender.
What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…? For me, the to-do lists did take a little too much time. But after i got use to them, I think it can be a useful tool.

Thing 15

I found wikis to be really cool as well. This again will be a very useful tool in the classroom. It too would be great to use with other teachers and/or parents. It would also be great to use with a book club. I tried to play in the apsu23things sandbox but it would not open up in any of the sections.

Flow chart and mind map are completely different one from the other. But the are equally important. A flow chart is great for keeping up with where you are on a projects and where you want to go. On the other hand a mind map is a great way to think out or map out your ideas to help you to know where you want to start and where you want to go. Both have there place in the classroom.

Thing 13

Zoho writer is the bomb. I was not aware that there was anything like that out there. I will find many different uses for this app. The Zoho website itself has a lot of other great apps. as well. There ar soooo many tools in it that I could not use them all just yet. Google doc is just as cool. I love the idea that others can edit the doc if you allow them to. These would both be great for group projects.

http://www.google.com/calendar/render?gsessionid=rt0wjfGbeGvy7uwQkD0qmQ This is the link to my calender. It would be a great tool to help students and parents to know what is coming up in the future. It can have a lot of uses in the class as well as in my personal use.
I also joined iGoogle. I am not sure if it worked right or not. I will keep working with it until i know for sure. I too is a great tool with many different uses.

Thing 10

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders? I think that it is a great way to cover a lot of information in a small amount of time.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your school or personal life? I would use it to keep up with all of my student and parent blogs at once.
How can teachers use RSS or take advantage of this new technology? Not only can I use it to keep up with it parents can see what is going on with all of the other students to see if their student is keeping up with their work compared to the peers.
