Week 5 (con't)

Thing #11

Decided to go to Im Cooked. I'm not much of a cook myself, but several of the video recipes seemed workable for me. Some students and staff may enjoy this as well [Perhaps they could create a recipe for the elements of a Shakespearen drama and create a video in this vein].

Already know about social bookmarking with Delicious.com. Love taking my bookmarks with me wherever I go. Lots of uses for this in the library. One set of links that I use have web_eval as a tag. When my library practice students do their web evaluation assignment, they simply go to my Delicious page and compare websites that I have listed.

Joined Joyce Valenza's Teacher-Librarian ning. Good stuff, but again, I feel like I can't keep up with everything. Yikes!

TravelPod's Travel IQ Challenge is already on my library website. I love it. Some of the kids even get addicted to it. : )

Thing #12

Went to Rollyo and created a searchbox about lightning & pool safety. I work out at an indoor pool and the staff never seems to think lightning safety is important. The links help me educate them. Rollyo is okay, but I prefer delicous.com.

Week 5

Thing #10

The image generators are lots of fun. Enjoyed FD's Flikr Toys and also Image Chef.

When I visited the Comic Strip Generator there was an inappropriate chat room discussion going on at the bottom of the page, so didn't spend much time there.
