Thing #11

I checked out the Ning socal networking site and visited a few of the different categories and social networks. I took particular interest in the ink site which was about tatoos although one thing I did discuss is that you need to be careful that you dont end up signing up and then find it wants you to pay - I back tracked out of that one.

It was fun although I dont think that this is something I would use too often either personally or professionally, I can see why people may like it but not really for me.

Thing #10

This was a load of fun I could spend hours playing with image generators. I really liked Image Chef and spent most of my time there having fun with images. I have attached one of the images for you

Thing #9

This was a fun exercise I checked out manyof the suggested feeds and ended up surfing in a different direction (as you do!). I went to Edublog and found a link to create quizzes which was fun, I actually created a basic fun quiz for my WOW students. There are many interesting and useful tools available through blogs.

Thing #8

RSS Feeds initially I found a little confusing I think because I didnt take the advice and read the tutorials first (I like to learn by play) hence it takes forever but I enjoy the journey on the way. I got the hang of it after a while and copying and pasting the URL's seemed a simple way of adding a feed - I sometimes wonder though how some people with low IT skills/experience would manage some of these tools?? I did create a blog within the bloglines for public viewing but then changed it as I didnt like having my email address visible and could not work out how not to display it. Anyway this was an informative and fun exercise.

Thing #7

This lesson was to look at anything technology related WOW. I have been looking around interested in learning a bit of HTML code which I did years ago obut have now forgotten. I stumbled across a number of sites (as you do on the net) and this was just one of them that I checked out.

Thing #6

Well as per usual I lost track of time looking at Flickr site (Mashups). A few of the mashups I enjoyed mucking around with included the puzzles (jigsaw), calendar, badges and posters.

I would love to have had more time to spend playing with these fun tools - I will try to get back to them a little later

Thing #5

Well this was an experience, lots of fun! I could explore forever. I cannot believe how many tools there are available to use on the Internet.

The photo I selected was learning teleconference as it was another means to communication in this wonderful world of technology. I tagged it as "24/7 learning anywhere and anytime". I hope you like it! I cant wait to have a look at some of your photo's from flickr.
