More thoughts of Thing 6

My diigo http://www.diigo.com/user/pannelledlife is going to be a great source of information that I can use and can have my students use. I have to figure out a good project that will tie in technology and how I can use this to help teach. I want my students to be able to use the technology and know what is out there for them to use. We already use wiki spaces in one of the reading classes http://bcswikis.barrow.wikispaces.net/mccallcharacters. I think I am ready to try one of my own.

Thing 6

Now I have my diigo set-up and working. OH MY!!!!! Being able to see all of your favorite websites and being able to get to them from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet connection. I started out with some of my basic ones that I use on a regular basis. Now I keep adding more based on what I want to know.

Thing 5 and 5a

I have had my google reader for about two weeks now and I am loving being able to glance and get information. When I was out, week before last, I was able to get to my blog and post through wikispace, and with my diigo I could get to my bookmarks. This is a great thing. I was not at home where all of my favorites are stored on my one computer, but since I had setup my wiki I was able to get to them.


SMARTBoards and Updating the Lesson Activity Toolkit

Well I am getting a smartboard soon and I have been trying to find out as much info as possible. So one of my reader site is Teachers Love Smart Boards

The blog above is a very helpful one talking about how to update lessons and a toolkit resource. I can't wait till I can post some of my own flip charts and save them in a blog. But, this will have to wait till next school year.
