Week 8 Thingies 18 & 19

Zoho.....I'm nonplussed......a web based wordprocessor. A big emaily thing.....the potential for these "Thingies" is beginning to outvault the meagre mental gymnastics my mind is able to accomplish...what say ye all?

LibraryThing.....Ok...another way to show what we like...could be very handy for directing students to texts

ICT Guy

I have been listening to Darrel's podcasts...lots of food for thought here.......

Voicethread

Now this is interesting...........

Week 7 Thingy 16

Wikis...yes I've been using this one during an Adobe Connect training course.

I like them...a little bit more flexible than a dedicated LMS.

Good when constructing learning objects such as pathfinders.

Passwords...accounts.....

Anyone have anythoughts on passwords and accounts......I have a proliferation of new ones over the past few weeks......????

Week 6 Thingies 13, 14 & 15

I think I've skirted these already. However, Thingy 15 is very interesting. Sort of in the same vein as the GPL for open source software.
I never realised so much work has been carried out in this area. The "Disney" movie is good.

Week 4 Thingies 8 & 9, Week 5 Thingies 10, 11 & 12

OK.....my thirteen year olds have told me this "blog needs help." We went to a spot called createblog.com...I'll try and drag up the link. I was persuaded to use a new template which proceeded (much to their merriment) to wreck everything. Hey, I though I was Oh so smart knowing some html......these girls write it to communicate with each other. Parents...if ever you thought MySpace was a waste just watch the kids chop the templates up...I was gobsmacked.

Anyway...thingies 8 & 9.....yep the feeds are good.....I'm setting up a feed in my "Adobe Connect" Vacant / offline room.......some useful ideas in there...however...most of my adult learners go home to their other "lives" ....ie family.....TV....bills mortgages and don't have time for this sort of stuff.

The delicious bit.....well....as someone who regularly exports his faves onto a memory stick it's a welcome addition.....however...I exported them all up and will have a devil's time ordering them. The cloud style is good...mine just looks extremely nebulous.....

Rollyour own....yes.....good...just don't have time to pop sites into it.....but.....good for kids doing homework if you had a bunch of sites. However with scaffolding couldn't you direct them to your deli.cio.us page?
