Sunday night

Ah, so here it is Sunday night after Thanksgiving. Although I love the long weekends with friends and family, it is nice to be going back to a normal schedule!

This week we worked on Facebook discussions, regarding privacy issues and posting, as well as what applications we use on Facebook. I've used FB for about one year now and have always tried to be careful about my postings and keep everything private, but this has made it all the more clear to me why we need to stay alert when posting anything anywhere. As an educator our responsibility it higher than the normal person on Facebook.

Going to work more on my Ning site now, interesting stuff!

Learning for the first two weeks

Wow, so much technology and cool stuff to learn! Jing was difficult for me, I am not sure why, but I finally got my introduction posted using this tool. I really want to go back and work some more with it to see what I can do.
The first week we also did a SWOT analysis of the 2009 Horizon Report, as well as a Web quest. Loved reading what everyone found helpful on the Webquest too.

This second week we are creating a Wiki, a Twitter account and a Blog. Very interesting to read what wiki projects my classmates are creating, as well as working on my own. It is really too bad I have to work, I'd love to spend all day on this stuff!

I am a little shy about Tweeting, hard to imagine anyone wants to hear my thoughts all day long, (of course I work with middle schoolers and have a ten year old, so I know they don't!)

Have a good one all,

The Lightning Thief

Before we are barely over the opening of the Twilight: New Moon, we are seeing trailers for The Lightning Thief! Okay, a little different crowd, but still.
Here is one of the best trailers I've seen so far: Click here
