Thing 8

So many choices! I spent time exploring the many different sites. I created a couple of photo's for my blog. I found most of the sites to be very user friendly. This being said I still find myself spending quite a bit of time on each thing. The list of passwords and logins is growing rapidly.

I find that the text messaging language is like a foreign language. It sometimes takes me a bit of time to decipher a message that contains many of the text message abbreviations.

Email has made sharing information with staff much easier and immediate. It is an environmentally friendly tool that has replaced many of the paper notes we used to send out to patrons. I really appreciate the web access to the district email as I often work from home.

I experimented with Lazybase to create a database for a book club I belong to. I am also putting together a database of books that fourth grade students in our school recommend. Lazybase is user friendly but limited in it's functions.

Thing 6

I spent some time using ToonDoo to create some cartoons that will be used to introduce some of the research projects coming up in the next couple of weeks. This site was very easy to use.
