Week Nine, Exercise Twenty-three

Well the LIGHT has come ON in MY ATTIC! This course was so insightful. I enjoyed all of the new learning. I will go to the sites more and more and use them. I especially like BLOGGING! I think I am ADDICTED! It is a great online journal! This is just the BEGINNING of my learning all about the great technologies out there!





Week Nine, Exercise Twenty-two




Wow!!!! That is amazing! I have known about e-books before, but I had no idea of the amount of books and the collections that are available! What a great resource. I am sure in the future we will not use hard copy books....we will be all e-books! I hope that doesn't happen in my lifetime, but it is a possibility! I could spend all day and night and not get through all of the e-books there are! Wow!!!

Week Nine, Exercise Twenty-one


Podcasts are pretty cool! I could see the students thinking these were great and creating their own for a fun project!

I liked a podcast about children's books! Here is the link!

Week Eight, Exercise Nineteen




This is so cool and helpful! I have been trying to figure out a way to organize the many, many books I have in my collection! Using Library Thing will help a lot! I am thinking of organizing my collection using the Library Thing! I also like the fact that this is a tool to see feedback from others quickly on books!

I know I am going to spend hours and hours and weeks and weeks organizing my own collection of books!!! I started some tonight......I have been on this one exercise for about three hours! So cool and helpful! I also want to search more out about Library Thing to see what other cool features are available!

Week Seven, Exercise Eighteen



Zoho Writer!! This is a pretty cool thing and an interesting feature! I like the fact that you can access your documents from anywhere and you wouldn't have to e-mail them back and forth from colleagues when they proof read and make changes....it would instantly be right there!


I also thought is was cool all of the things you can do with your documents on the user friendly toolbar....from changing background color to fonts to linking to a web page! That is pretty cool stuff!

Week Seven, Exercise Seventeen

Wiki continued...adding an entry to the "Sandbox" was kind of fun. It was interesting to see my text added to so many others. I did have the question as to whether or not what you add to the wiki or delete can be found again or if it is gone forever......that is what I added to the sandbox! Does anyone know the answer to that question?
