Thing 6

It has been so long since I have blogged. Followers forgive me. Not making any promises but I will try harder to give information as well as receive it. I have enjoyed Google reader and thankful for RSS but really looking forward to working with wikis. Your comments really help me and I feel privileged to be associated with so many brilliant minds. "Old Dog" is learning some new tricks, keep up the good work. I have connected to RSS feed on Autism, it has a lot of personal documentaries from parents and how they deal with their autistic child. Good stuff!! My students are doing research through the eyes of an archeologist using physical evidence to create a story. I would love to post these to a wiki. Wish I had more time to explore this new world, maybe after ADE monitoring for GT.

Thing 3: Widgets

Today I learned about Widgets. I added a subscription,"about me", and followers widgwets. I wanted to add feeding fish but this was blocked, probably a good thing this may have made my blog to busy, but it would have been fun!!!!!

Thing 1: Thoughts about Web 2.0

For me this is round two, year two for 21clc first year rookie. Web 2.o at first seemed overwhelming, even after starting it for the second time. I do see the importance of being a self educating cooperative learner. It is clear to me that inorder for me to educate my strudents, I myself must be at least profficient in the web tools that my students use on a daily basis. In this age of Collaberation, I look forward to sharing and collecting information with other educators around the world. Web 2.0 is a vital tool in preparing students for the global community.
