A great Thing to end on

Overall, Learning 2.0 is awesome. I am torn between just one thing a week or how great fewer weeks looks. Is it better to know I have one Thing each week? Would that make the list on the blog archive too overwhelming? I am glad I don't have to make that decision.

I still wonder why I need a Skype or Twitter account. However, I am very thankful I didn't have to create a Facebook account. Oh, thank you!

I have shed tears of frustration (Week 3, photos & images) and laughed myself to tears (Week 11, Online Video). Many of the things were fun (Week 10 Spring Break and Week 13 Tag Clouds). I found I learned many things I can use in the future (so many I will not list them). Perhaps another important lesson I learned is there is so much out there to learn. Now, I can search it out and do it.

Oh Wordle, how I love you!

That's right, I love Wordle. I had been introduced to Wordle.net while on an observation. She was creating Dewey signs to help her high school students navigate through the collection. I've been a Wordle fan since.

Podcasting

We make what we call podcasts quite often at my school. They are not saved out in a public place like the internet, rather in house on the server. They also have pictures with the various layers of sound. So, my question is this: Are these still podcasts or something else?

The core has me teaching literary genres so I found this address which is about how those genres are written. The genre I listened to was historical fiction; but there were many to choose from in the archive. Anyway, I thought that was a unique viewpoint to share in the library.
