PODCASTING AND TWEETY

I do not prefer auditory learning as a style but without it, where would I be? Lately I have been so distractable. I was glad this was one of the latter Things since I was sure that I would not enjoy this venue. Well, it was not so bad because the videos were good at explaining it and helping me to SEE its extrinsic and intrinsic value. I did not like the Ninjas analogy!!. The WRESA segments needs further study but it show that there are good podcasts out there for use with students and adults. Perhaps I can make my own podcasts for the auditory learner.

Tweety and Thing 18 - Slideshare

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE SLIDESHARE! I LOVE POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS. ALTHOUGH IT IS BETTER TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN TO FIT THE NEEDS OF THE CLIENT, IT HELPS TO HAVE IDEAS TO INSPIRE YOUR WORK. SLIDESHARE IS GREAT!

Knowledge Management 101

Check out this SlideShare Presentation which I embedded so that I can review at a later time :

A Well Managed Classroom

Check out this SlideShare Presentation which was a collaboration between the Principal and the PLC:

Tweety Explores Thing 17 - Online Productivity Tools

I explored all the online productivity tools. I had explored bubbl.us before and found the student version of Inspiration easier to use. Of course it is not free. The Zoho site was unavailable. I did not care for Remember the Milk. It was not easy to use. 30 Boxes did not appeal to me. I already use 2 online calendars. LibraryThing was great for someone who reads a lot and enjoys communicating about the books. I was interested in Knowtes since I am a visual-kinesthetic learner and flashcards is one of my learning models. I needed an invitation into the site but did not have one. Perhaps Leslie has one and will invite me in. Any of these sites could be used in your personal or professional life.

Tweety Explores Google Docs - Thing 16

Since I am not a part of RESA's 23 things, I am unable to work with the spread sheet they provided. I did explore Google docs on my own and I see great potential here. How many times have we tried to update rosters, forms, documents only to not have all the participants available? If we have everyone's email, they can update their information online in the original document! I shared some test data with Priest administrative cabinet and it was only for their eyes. No one else had access. It was in graph form. I am interested in whether changes can be made to that since only spreadsheets, presentations,and documents were mentioned. The possibilities for collaboration is thought-provoking.

Tweety Revisits RSS in Bloglines

I went to Bloglines to experience RSS again. By the way, these was not one of my favorite places to visit. It appeared to have many feeds which would take up my time. I had pushed Abstract Art and 2872 feeds were there. I wanted to mark them all as read but I could not resist looking at least one hundred of them AND saving three. I will revisit the site. I added a comic (Dilbert ) and interest feed.

I am thoroughly overwhelmed now. Through this journey, I have explored NIng, Flickr, Facebook, Delicious, Jing and Bloglines. I probably have forgotten a couple, I have joined them all. Eventually I will have to determine what fits my needs. I imagine this decision will take some time so I will continue the journey and hope it stablizes my ramblings.
