Thing # 7

Google has so many neat tools, you can definitely get lost for hours. I couldn’t think of anyone to try in Google Alerts. I installed the Google Toolbar. Ebay was the first thing that popped up. Interesting.
After doing Flickr-I just couldn’t play for another 2 hours if I wanted to stay married. Note to self: Come back another day.
Google Scholar will come in handy in grad school. I have used the Google Earth many times: Latest was finding two mom and pop motels right next to each other for our family reunion in Clearwater, Florida.
Google has always been my favorite search engine-never knew all the other things Google had to offer.

Thing # 6

OK-this site was fun. I enjoyed making trading cards. There are endless possibilities for them: faculty, students (All About Me), Active Participation signs, character traits, GLAD strategy cards. For those of you who haven't attended GLAD, these are cards that you give out periodically about the subject you are studying (birds, habitats, historical figures, landforms, etc). It is a fun way to help students remember the important data.

Now the mosaic was dangerous for me as a scrapbooker. Playing with all the different layouts and pictures was awesome. I already have a ton of projects on my agenda- in my free time of course! Ha-Ha

Thing # 5

Today I finally got around to Flickr. Sweet! My mind was racing of all the ways to use this tool (both personally and professionally). I need to go back and play/learn some more.

Thing # 4

I'm in!
I have completed #1-4 and I am ready to start my adventure.

Thing #1

Well-this sounds exciting. I cheated and looked down the titles of everything we will learn and all I can say is WOW. I can't wait to get started.

Thing #3

Making the BLOG was surprisingly easy for me. It was Avatar that was my challeging moment. I enjoyed scrolling through and picking out the clothes etc. but exporting my picture was difficult. My husband walked in after he saw me frustrated and said why don't you try... Of course, it worked. I hate when something so easy, gets me flustered. I am thankful for the different spin. No telling how long I would have sat here.

Thing #2

Lifelong Learning-I am always looking for new ideas and ways to challenge myself. I made it through Things #1, 2, 3.

I definately know how to play!
