Thing #19

I selected Teacher Pop! I am awaiting to be accepted by the administrator! I will come back and blog about this a little later.

So it is now a little later! lol

I set up my page and it really reminds me of myspace! I added a picture to my profile. It is very user friendly and I connected it with my facebook. I think this is going to be a really good networking site for me as an upcoming teacher! I am going to continue to use this site!

I think this is my badge:

Visit TeacherPop

Thing #18

I already have a myspace and a facebook. Myspace is really old and I never log into it anymore. My facebook is something I log into often. (It actually depends on how much homework I have.)

This is my facebook. I dont know if you can view it cause it is private! I have like 200 friends and I am nto wanting to add anymore! lol....it is enough to keep up with.

I think it is beneficial for educators to know how to social network, it is one of the best ways to stay up to date with what is going on with your students (this applies to older students really). The one thing that I do not like about the sites is having to share your personal information. That is the one thing about today's society that really bothers me. You should not put anything on the web that is truly private. There are so many ways that your stuff can be hacked into even with a virus protector!
I do not think that this should be used especially if minors are involved, we have to be especially careful when we are doing things with other's children.

Thing #17

Del.icio.us is a good website. It has alot of things on it and I found the best way to search for things is in the search bar! I think that social tagging or bookmarking is a very good idea for teachers! I think that a group of educators can see what is going on, follow the feeds, and give ideas to other educators! I really like the ability to social network in the same area. I feel like this opens the door for many other ways to succeed as a teacher.

Thing #16

I am a google nerd! So of course Google is already my homepage. I simply created my own unique "Google homepage!" It was easy and fun! I attached all my RSS feeds on there that we signed up for earlier in the 23 things blog. I added a calender on there and put when my upcoming tests and homework that is do for my classes. I have to say I am in love with this new homepage! It has me wrote all over it! I am going to keep it as my permanent homepage! This was very fun for me! I think the calenders will be very helpful. I also can use this when I start teaching to track my conferences! How exciting!! I dont really know what I think about the to do lists. I will have to see how that pans out!

Thing # 15

So I never figured this out! I am so frustrated that I could not figure this one out! I like to think that I am pretty technology inclined, but I am so lost on this. I enabled my account and logged in. Could not figure out though how to make it work. I closed everything out and then tried to log back in and it said I had to enable cookies! All I can say is GRRRRRRRRR!

Thing #14

You see the mind map created in mindmeister! It was not that easy to work with. I really did not care much for the program. I like alot more colors and things are that user friendly. I found this to be frustrating to me. I chose mndmeister because it did seem easy and I could work on my blog and complete the 14th thing right away.

The next thing I worked on was a flowchart. I chose Gliffy to make my flowchart! I found this website to be user friendly, and I love the capabilities to use colors and arrows efficiently and effectly! I have to say this one is my favorite! The one thing that I can not figure out is how to post it to my blog. I will continue to work on it until I figure it out.

ok, so as you can see I fugured it out. It really did not take too long about 10 minutes! You go to share, and a window pops up. You then click on "use these handy links" and another window pops up. It is your flowchart. I right clicked on it and saved picture as... and saved it to my PC and then I simply inserted the image into my blog!



Thing #13

It has been a while since I was on here. Mid-terms are now over with! WHEW! I am glad that week is over! So it is back to the grindstone to finish up this semester.

I am now on thing 13 as you can see. It is online apps, and I went with Zoho Writer! I created my account (which was very easy, I just hope I can remember all my passwords for all the different websites). LOL

I created and played in Zoho Writer. I really love it! I will continue to use this online application for years to come. I created a cheesy page where I was just playing around with it. I am going to put it here in my blog!

Well first attempt was..../fail! lol.....Let me see if I can figure this out!
  My Zoho Writer

2nd Attempt was a success. I will share with you how I figured it out! I clicked on: "share" and then I clicked on  "post to blog"  I then went to my blog and clicked on link and named it and entered the link address and
Waa Laa! It worked!! YAY!!
