I have set up a twitter account! I truly did not want to do it all. I did not want to be a part of this society that walks around with face to phone all day. I am a people person who loves to talk with my mouth and not my fingers. I did however find current events and follow the music groups that I only like to listen to. I enjoyed listening to the music I have not heard in a while, music in my "kiddy" day, and music I wish they would never play. One thing that I did like about twitter is that current events "pop" up instantly so I do not have to stay up and watch the news 2 @ 10. Below is my twitter link to follow me and my favorite music person for a while. Stay tuned.

I learned a lot about social bookmarking. I am a person that finds a website or page that I like very much and save it to my favorites in my email. By every third or fourth month when I sit down at the computer waisting time I have to be clean up woman for my favorite box as well. I have to delete and delete because I do not use the site any more or I do not need it for that particular class anymore. The social bookmarking helps me keep the sites for a lot longer and organize them in outline type form when I am ready for them. The plus for me was that I can stop telling my friends look "I will forward it to you". No longer do I have to do that we can just share it.
Social bookmarking can be a tool to use in the classroom or just for daily living. However, it can make life easier once you learn how to use it. I am still trying to work the knots out but I will conquer it!!!!
This is my story and I am sticking to it.

Here is my link for the 2.0 Ta da list. I really enjoyed this program!!!!
First it was simple to get a free account. The second part was the account set up went super fast.
The most important thing was that it took me right to the site and I was able to work on in instantly.
The flow of the pages was real simple to follow and showed me every step on how to share it. I did not do it publicly because one
the caution signs said it could be put into a data base search engine. I did not know what that meant but to me it meant not private.
I did a list for today, and the rest of the semester. I plan on using this one a great deal. For the classroom it is a great tool to help teachers
stay on track with how much information they did or did not give to the students. Also, it could help students to keep track on homework due dates, class projects, after school programs and school functions. This program can be used at any computer you are near and you can also have it linked to your phone.

I am not a person who just like to blogg on anything. I felt that wiki was a waste of time. I sat at this computer for at least one hour and still feel the same way. Yes I did blogg in the sandbox item (another waste of time). However, it was fun to read what other classmates wrote on the page.

Hello,
I HATED Flowchart.com.
It took so long to set up the account. I had to wait to get the email to verify my account. I had to go through puzzles just to use information. I took the same information I used on bubbl.us and tried to put it into the carts of flow charts and it was not working. I hated all the mazes and things that were going on that I did not understand. I personally would not use this at home or in the classroom. the mind charts are much easier to use, easy to setup, easy to delete information or charts, and faster to pull up.
In a classroom I want something that is easy to access and understand so I will be able to help the students understand. I want something I can have them do class projects on their own not having to call on me as much. I think the mind charts take cares of that and so much more..

Good Morning!!!
I was up all night thinking about how to do these 2 steps of the flow chart. I got up somewhat early and began working on the first project from bubbl.us. This is the mind map portion. It was very easy setting up the account. The site automatically let you continue working on the project right after creating the account. You did not have to go back to your email and "verify" your email address and then go back to working.
I would use flow charts to make family trees for family occasion, family vacations to let everyone know where and times to be. I would even use mind charts to let parents know the set up of my classroom day. It was quite fun and I got started by using the brain storm of a 5 page paper I got to do for my African American History Class. Below you will find the link to my creative genius self....

I just did the Google Docs with pictures and it was cool. It is easier than Flicker and all the other pictures links and how to dos. I was just able to click and drag and the upload went to work in minutes. I would say in the classroom I would use this program over most when it comes to sharing photos or places the students have been. I like Google Docs over the ZOHO which was more complicated. It seems to me ZOHO copied the old word site and made it easier to access, and that is what "apps" is suppose to do. Make life a little easier. Below is the link to my Google Docs picture's. You must have this link in order to access the file.

Good Luck,
