Thank you

Many thanks to you Felicity.........there was so much to explore and now to follow up on. I had heard of some of the sites, but as my namesake implies I have been very hesitant to " try" and get on board this rapidly changing technological era!!!!!!! Thanks again.

#22Ebooks and #23 Audiobooks

Once again wow! Looked at the reading room...this was very good, also booktopia and the project Gutenberg and LibriVox..........a great resource for teachers and so many books for free. Will follow up with these in the future.

#21 UTUBE and TEACHERTUBE

Got onto teachervision....had to get pass a lot of adds!! Looked up lots of classroom resources eg Halloween, health, xmas and environmental sciences. So much to look at. Classroom blogs are already happening at our school.....just not in my room!!

Tried to post this video on my blog but can't yet! Will keep on trying..........my name sake!Can you let me know if it has worked please?

# 20 Podcasts

Looked at a few sites...got onto the education podcast network and saw some for "teaching with the smartboard" will follow that one up. Checked out podscope but had difficulty writing a phrase that got me in.......found a lot of yanky stuff! Listened to some on pet care and health, also Indian cooking which was great as we just had curried prawns for dinner that my darling made! The ABC site was good...listened to some health talks. All in all a great site to follow up on.

#19 Rollyo

I have created another account!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried to create a searchroll but I am not sure if it was successful or not....have had enough now... will try again another day!

#18 Wiki

Once again so many things to look at. I could not believe it can be edited by anyone...is that good? Who has been writing this info/ How informed are they? Can the general public get the wrong info?
It looks good for the initial info that children might need......it is so easy to access and good for links between home and school on related matters.

#17 Delicious

An IT person had mentioned this site to me ages ago but I had not got around to exploring it. Like all the other sites we have been asked to explore..........it is mind boggling! I bookmarked a couple of sites but then found a site on Diigo about researching your family history which I will do after I finish this course!!!!!!!

#16 Blogs

Looked up sooooo many sites...........liked Education. au but not sure which ones to subscribe to.

#15 RSS

Viewed the Andy Wibbles video and can see how great this is for those who want to keep informed about all the latest updates on their interests. It certainly saves time from browsing the web!

#13 #14 Myspace and facebook

I can see how these sites can be very useful to people who want to contact whoever. My daughter and her friends use it all the time. My niece made contact with her long lost high school love and now they are an item! Care must be emphasised to all about the dangers out there. I have created a facebook account- but I doubt that it will be used much!

#12 Flickr

Wow so many accounts and information to give!!!!!!!! Have selected and downloaded pictures but can't seem to get them to my blog!

#11 Library thing and Shelfari

This site would of saved me thousands of dollars at the book shops if it had of been around years ago.
I like the idea that books the children have read can be recorded on their own LT site instead of the usual reading record card. A great tool for teachers, children and all.

#10 Image generators

Wow..........have sat here for more than 2 hours going over sites.....have had enough now ....will make an image at a later date!!

#9 virtual worlds

Oh my.............where do I start...this certainly is fascinating........one can get totally absorbed in the fantasy of it all..........just not my scene.......personally I would rather..."explore, meet, socialize, participate in individual and group activities ".........in the real world and the flesh!!!!!!!!!

#5 and #6 Google maps and docs

I thought I already commented on google maps and docs but not on so here goes again.............the google apps are so varied and I can see how they can be very useful as it has an application for everything and everyone!

#7 google books

A great site when locating books on topics you are interested in. Even good to browse before you buy or borrow books to add to your own personal library.

#4 Web 2.0

I think this is a great site for professional or social networking, you need to have the time to spend,but once you start it can take up a lot of time. Just to post things properly, lost all the others.I'll keep trying.

2nd attempt!

How exciting to view the various google searches. I enjoyed the Google maps. I have just moved house this year and I checked out my old house. The home features around the house were of a couple of years ago. How often is this information updated?

I made it

This has taken me all night-but yippee I now have a blog site!
