Thing # 4 RSS

I started with igoogle...loved adding gadgets and changing the theme and I finally added tabs so I can have one for home, work and my kids- nice to have everything in one place for quick glance.  I just have to remind myself that I have it to use.  It is a great organizer and timesaver.  But I was also easily distracted with fun stuff like the world web cam!  I can't quite get a grip on how to share it with my students...if I set one up with them in mind.  I need more time to play around.  I couldn't add the cool tools for school site....
I am still a total Twitter failure...hopefully I will have time to go and revisit to see what I am missing.

Thing #2 Digital Storytelling & Presentation tools...

I have moved on to Things 3, 4 & 5 but I keep going back to Thing #2....I love playing with all of these tools!  I started out as an elementary teacher so as I explored these tools I keep stopping to send them to teachers I worked with in the middle school and elementary school.  My high school students made some  animoto videos for the library web page...great book trailers.  They also made "historical" voki figures.  I keep going back to the elementary & middle school students & teacher who I think will make use of these tools...this is my first year in the high school so I haven't quite found my footing.  We have used Prezi previously but I find I get awful motion sickness from it!  LOL  I am working on a project using glogster....using the Read Posters the students in our PhotoShop class create with teachers in the building....so much to do.... so little time!!
