No. 12 Rollyo

This is a bit risky as I decided to go with a travel theme... in particular the South Pacific as my next travel destination.  I could have easily spent hours looking at possible trips.

No. 11 Web 2.0 sites

Thought it was about time I had a look at FAcebook as there has been so much hype about it. Amazingly the only friends on it were my husband and children! What does that say about my other friends? When I get more friends I might be able to look more at Facebook but now it's a little hard to make a comment about it. Mingle is  online dating so I might give it a miss. Imbee is for kids and tweens so I might give it a miss too.

No 10 - image generator

This was a lot of fun. A good idea for making birthday cards etc. I can see a lot of possible uses here for students.

No 9 - school blogs

There are a few interesting things in Technorati, etc. I will need to do a lot more exploring here.

Thing 8 - RSS

Another interesting concept.... I can see there are a few options here as long as I have time to read what's sorted out for me.

Thing 7 Technology

There's a lot out there that's worth finding out about. Went out and bought a mobile phone that can take photos and a 6 megapixel , 3 optical zoom digital camera that I can use with my students. The prices are coming down as each one of these only cost $99.

No. 7 technology

This week I have gone out and bought a new mobile phone with camera and video capabilities. It's really important that as a teacher of young adults I stay abreast with the technologies they are using. It's a challenge sometimes but also an interesting journey. There can be a lot of frustration as I try to work out how to use things but as I learn I realise the possibilities.

What an amazing photo! There's such a big, wide , beautiful world out there beyond the computer screen.

Flickr

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Friday 25 April - ANZAC day

Time sure has gotten away from me. Even though I haven't posted anything for a while I have been checking out Flickr and other things. Bought a new mobile phone today for work so we can communicate with our younger students. I hope to be able to take photos and send them as well.
Better get back to 23 things and see what other exciting things await me
