Rollyo

I loaded up some websites on Rollyo that I would use with students in my media classes and I found that the site was slow. It might have been a bad night. I will try playing with it tomorrow.

Library Thing

I searched around Library Thing and added five of the books that my Book Club has read. I currently use Good Reads and I have it linked to my Facebook page. Some of the people in my book club use Good Reads and it is a good way for us to share and discuss books.

online image generator

I made an avatar. I hope to use this with my AEP kids. I think they will enjoy it. I used the Yahoo avatar. I didn't try any of the other suggested image generators. I am going to try to upload my avatar to my blog page. Wish me luck.

RSS feeds

I spent the evening setting up my account for Bloglines. I tried to add the public library to my bloglines but it didn't work. I will have to try again since I verified my account. I like the idea of using it for current events and shopping. Our school has a blog and I would like to add that to my bloglines and the public library. I spend a little more time on that this evening.

Flickr

I will have to play with Flickr on my personal computer because I don't have enough photos on the school laptop. I don't bring the school laptop home often, therefore, I am behind in my posts. I played around with sending photos to myself. I would use this feature to send photos or videos to my family. Currently, I use Facebook to share videos via youtube and photos to share with family and friends.

71/2 Habits

I consider myself to be a lifelong learner. Habit 2: accept responsibility for your own learning is true for all ages. The test for me was online classes. I think it would do all students well to take an online class because in that situation you really have to take responsibility for your learning. Habit 71/2 is a great one too. Don't forget to play. Over a year ago, my husband and I purchased bikes and it has been a blast. A bike ride always lifts my spirits!
