This will be my last blog for this class since time is running out and I did not complete the task. I will make it a point to enroll in this class if it open next summer I will take it and complete it.

This is what 23 Things look like when you come down to the last minute and try to do it. I am a member to just one network site. That is this one. But think I will try to be apart of more as the year goes by. I think I am going to start one for our co-hort class of 2010. I think that would be lots of fun to have. A few of the networks were interesting to me but, last.fm was very fun appealing to me. I will use last.fm later I even plan to find some music that I can use in the classroom for the students to listen to it.

Check me on myspace.com. I have not yet put up anything but look for updates later. These sites are very important, because it can give you a chance to see how your friends are doing as well as your students from the past. It is important to know how social networks work because so many of our students are on them now. This is how we can learn what is important to the students and even our co-workers. It also can help us when we need to know more about people in the news. I tried myspace.com because it was the most popular site and easy to navigate. I can how it ca be used in libraries as a research tool.

Item #17

I have a del.icio.us account from another online class. I have been using it for a short while. I do like it better then the other ways of bookmarking so far. There is great potential for this tool. Research is just one way. When using it as a research tool, Libraries/librarians can take advantages of this social bookmarking site. They can see where other librarians have bookmarked other sites on a subject that maybe you may not have looked up. I plan to use it more as I get use to it.

Item #16

For thing 16 I used iGoogle for my customized start page. It was easy it only took about 3 seconds if that long. The things that appealed to me was it was colorful, easy to use and set up, and it looks fun. I would consider making this a permanent home page. I can lots of uses for the online calendars. It can be useful to me like I stated in an earlier blog, my family will be able to keep up with me and I with them if they use it. I have sen it work. My husband uses an online calendar on his job and it has cut down on some conflict of appointments and meetings being made. The to-do-list could be helpful yes it is a lot of work but it is worth it if you do it right and use it. I will use the online calendar both at work and at home. This is a very useful tool to have.

This was indeed a fun assignment.I saw how Wikis can be helpful. The way librarians can use it like posting book reviews for students and staff to read. If they do this it will allow the librarians to do something else in the library. Teachers and students can read the reviews on the computer and the librarian update it weekly. I set up an account which was very easy to do. I found the wikis interested because you can brainstorm with others that are not in the same place as you are. Working in Wikis can be hard if you don't read them daily. It can be used in the classroom as a way to check the writing of the students.

Item #14

This one assignment that I was really up to doing. I can't see how I can use it the classroom only thing I can see is using it as maybe a lesson plan chart. The different that I can see in the two is that flowchart can be used to chart the lesson plan. Mind mapping can help me brainstorming of lessons. I looked at all of the sites and I liked Gliffy for flowchart and Bubbl.us for the mind mapping.
