Thing #6

My head is spinning with all the things students and teachers could do with these sites. They are especially great for creating projects after researching. I really like Big Huge Labs and will investigate more so I can use it next year.

The biggest downfall to all this is time. You have to have the time to look around so when you assign the students to do something they know right where to go and what they want to do.

I had some teachers last year who had the students create a Trading card of the president they researched. They had made their own template but with the Trading Card Maker the projects would look more professional.

Thing #5

Here is the picture I chose from Flickr. I'm a librarian and so I was looking for books. I really liked this picture right away. It was the second one but I kept looking and didn't find anything that appealed to me more.

Thing # 3

I'm finished with Thing #3! At first I didn't like creating a Yahoo account so that I could use the Avatar creator. I have so many accounts already to keep track of. Once I got into the avatar creator there were so many choices it was time consuming to show my personality. I wish there was a search box where I could search what I wanted.

After finally creating my avatar it was challenging to export and to choose where to place it in the blog. I learn best by doing and experimenting so I finally got it after looking at another blog. I also looked closely at the way you can customize the blog to help place the avatar. I'm happy with where it is.

Thing #2

I had watched the video the first week in June and here it is the first week in July and I'm finally gotten to creating the blog. The hardest thing for me in being a life long learner is to have the time needed to learn all the things I want to learn. The easiest thing for me is to teach others because when I find a new "toy" I want to share it with everyone!

Thing #1

I had completed Thing#1 last year but that was about it. Life happened and I didn't get any further then Thing #1. I'm glad I'm past that this year. I'm hoping to complete it.
