I went out to Yahoo and created and avatar for my account. I loved the fact that they had created “plus” size characters to choose from. It is nice to see someone who realizes the world in not all a size 2 and give us who are not a chance to express ourselves as we [...]

I would love to [...]

I think wikis could be a valuable item to use within in a library or other teaching environment. The problem is keeping your information safe and unchanged by those who view it. I could see some students “adding” their own take on things which could get out of hand very quickly.

I added the Sirsi Dynix Institue to my RSS feed using my Itunes. This is a great source of information. I love that you can get in on live feeds or recorded ones.

I am slowly catching up with my blog. I created the trading card and thought it was fun. I think I will use it as an ending project with my 8th graders at the end of the quarter. It would be great for them to make them and be able to share [...]
