Thing 16

I think this could be so useful for working with all of my colleagues. There are over 9 of elementary music teachers. This would be an excellent way to preview new docs and work on them together. I'm not quite sure how we access eachothers files yet, but look forward to figuring that out. I think this would be a great way to lesson plan share as well. This way if there is anything within someone elses lesson that you might want to change you could do that without recreating the file.

Thing15

I have not become addicted to my bloglines account. I think that it's mostly because of lack of time. I think that this is a very powerful tool and I've been sharing it's powers with others. I can't wait to have a little more time, maybe over the summer to become more efficient at all these things.

Thing 14

I think that this thing will be great for me at school and at home. There have been multiple times at school that I lost all of my favorites because they rebooted our whole systems. Very aggravating. Plus I can look up things at home, tag it at home and access it at school, I think. I'm hoping that delicious is accessable at school.

My access name is pianojess2000

I mostly tagged sites for at home right now seeing that I am doing all of this on my home computer. Hopefully next week I'll tag some site for my classroom when on that computer.

Thing 13

I think Tagging could be a great way to organize all my sites. I'm concerned for all the protocal for tagging it properly. I'm worried I might tag something wrong and then not be able to find it. I think I'd like to clean up my computers, but don't want to delete anything until I know that I know what I'm doing.

I'm also concerned that if I'm publically labeling things wrong, others may be relying on me or I on them and getting the wrong information. I guess I'll find out after use, how it goes.

Thing 12

Widgets


Kind of silly. I guess it lets you personalize. A litte bit of a waste of time to me though. I'm not into games and silly stuff like this. I did like the counters, clocks, and maps though.

Thing 11

Comments are very important to the blogging world. It makes it exciting for the writer and the reader. It offers different opinions and keeps others informed. I was very excited to see comments left on my blog. It's neat to know that people are out there reading and caring about what you have to say.

I enjoyed finding out that some of my colleagues had very similar responses to Things that I was having. It's nice to relate.

Thing 10

This is Great!! I just posted the video of the UGRR and now I downloaded it to my computer. I can't wait to use it as a short introdution at school. It shows photos and artifacts.

Again, another great useful tool for me. THANKS!!
