Thing # 8

I set up my Google Reader account and have some RSS feeds now. I feel that this will be something to make sure all my teachers know about, too.

Thing # 7

I spent way too much time here, or then again, maybe I'll use these tools the most. I had been introduced to Google Docs earlier this year and have shared information with other library professionals through our filling in information for each other regarding our separate districts. I will continue to use it and encourage students to use it for projects they have to work on at home and at school.

The Google Gadgets are terrific, but I cluttered my iGoogle page with them and had to revise. The iGoogle page is something I'll continue to use, too, and to encourage students to use.

A friend shared photos of our spring-break trip to Europe with everyone on the trip through Picasa. Similar to other photo-sharing sites, it is a place I'll return to when I can download some pictures and experiment.

I downloaded Google Earth on my home computer but must spend more time learning to use it efficiently. Will have to return to it, too, because I know multi-disciplinary classes can take advantage of what it has to offer.
