Session Six: Podcasts, Video & Downloadable Audio


Tonight I learned of wonderful ebook sights: planetbook and readprint. These sites are wonderful resources for downloading classical stories. However, most of these books online do not have pictures.
I also learned of a new electronic product called a Kindle. You can purchase books to download on your Kindle. This may be something I may be interested in purchasing. It is totally wireless. Our class located it on Amazon. I wonder if they can be found somewhere else.
Overall, I have really enjoyed my web2.0 academy eperience. I have learned so much about the web that I really did not know. I will be using Flickr, del.icio.us, as well as my blog accounts.
Thank you so much Annette for all your help. I will continue blogging and learning.

Session Five: Wikis and Online Production Application and Tools

Tonight I learned about Wiki and Google docs. I think Wiki would be a great tool for group collaborations in the classroom. Students may edit and comment on their Wikis. The teacher can check the history of the Wiki to see what each student contributed. I will use this in the classroom. Googledocs is something I will explore more.

I am so excited that I am learning so many new things with technology. I look forward to learning more. I need more time to explore.

Session 4: Photos and Images


Tonight I explored Flickr and created a Flickr account. I was able to view many wonderful pictures and saved some to my computer. This is monumental for me because I did not even know Flickr existed.
I also explored ImageGenerator.com
A great site I found was FD's Flickr Toys
This is a great site for making trading cards.
Look! I uploaded this image. I have hope!!
I can learn and not be afraid of technology.
