Week six

I went to http://webtools4u2use.wikispaces.com/Webtools4U2Use - This is great!
And added myself to a map of other librarians on frappr.com
Went to animoto and made a movie of fjords of Norway and posted it on my facebook page and sent an invitation to my kids.
I watched the teacher tube videos "Vision of K-12 Students Today" and Did You Know?
I started a Web2.0 webpage linked from my school library page at http://www.crsd.org/5034298164240/site/default.asp
My summer workshop for teachers and librarians will definitely reflect what I am learning in this course. I am sure we will use my bookmarks in de.licio.us

I COULD PLAY ALL DAY!
From reading other blogs in from my RSS feeds I learned about Wordle. I just had to try this. I pasted in an article that I have submitted to School Librarians Workshop for publication about my Movie maker project with sixth graders learning about the Olympics.

I have been playing around with photos. I made a caption for a statue of Snowshoe Thompson. We saw this when we did a side trip from Reno at AASL.

Week Four

I have been reading everyone's blogs and set up RSS feeds with Google Reader. I found useful library related blogs and will add some news feeds. How will I every find time to read all of this during the school year? I hope I can add my feeds to this blog. That's my next project!

Week Three

We returned from our trip to Denmark and Norway and I posted three photos on Flickr of the Hans Christian Andersen statue and the Little Mermaid statue. It was so wonderful to be in Copenhagen where there local hero is a children's fairy tale write who wrote over an hundred and fifty years ago. We went to a children's museum with dioramas of his stories such as The Emperor's New Clothes and the Little Match Girl. I had fun in May and June reading Hans Christian Andersen stories to my second and third graders.

Week two

I had fun setting up my blog and creating my avatar. It makes me think of Mr. Popper's Penguins. I have been enjoying reading everyone else's blogs.
