I just don't watch television enough to have wanted to explore online video. We have recorded a few programs on demand and have not been interested in online options.  I've explored Hulu and see many useful applications.  I was not aware of the scope of "programming" - from old movies to documentaries.  I'm creating a queue from the National Geographic programming - guess this summer is a good

I've been using Internet Radio for a few years now and enjoy a variety of stations from NPR to those I've created with Pandora. The options available - commercial free - are endless. I think these sites offer good options to users who enjoy music and would like to tailor a station to meet their needs.I do not see Internet radio replacing broadcast radio, although the news industry has evolved

I currently use Netvibes as my homepage.  It allows me to organize my favorite widgets, blogs, websites, etc. in one place. Looking at the other tools was informative; however I won't be switching for a bit - if ever.  I'm more than satisfied with Netvibes and have trouble daily getting to everything I've included on the page.  I'll keep some of the suggested tools bookmarked to offer options to

Screencasting was a stretch for me mainly because I wasn't sure I had anything worthy of a screencast.  After trying some of the tools I settled on Screentoaster - VERY easy to use!  I had some difficulty enabling the audio, but something new is learned with every glitch.  Skitch was cumbersome and not the right tool for delivering multiple directions.  I found it more difficult to capture each

Our school has worked with Voicethread this past school year with some success.This example is a collaborative project completed in Grade 3.  The students studiedfairy tales and their components, fractured a tale they knew, and created a Voicethreadfor our older students to view and leave comments.We continue to work on netiquette, i.e, correct spelling and punctuation when completinga project.

Using Animoto was easy.  I just had a bit of trouble posting it to the blog.  I'd like to create more using this site but don't really want to spend the money for the full length video (it would also be possible to download).  I'll need to look into the other tools as well; but time requires me to move on...

In our K-8 library I have noticed an increase in reading and socializing around reading.  I attribute it to the connection we are making with Web 2.0 tools.  The Maud Hart Lovelace book lists annually launch a group of readers into the books on the lists and the challenge to "...read this one next."  In addition to the list, many readers go beyond and use the Web to search for the next good book

The discussion on the relevance of the library reference desk and popularity of online answer sites is refreshing.  I believe the biggest challenge is to best know the community being served and then serve.  Meeting the needs of the community is key in remaining relevant.   Online answer sites have user appeal for those who have had negative experiences with reference librarians or are just

I have done little traveling - various places throughout the U.S.  Not a lot time was spent planning these trips and it was certainly done without the tools available today.  I'm not surprised there is a vast 2.0 world centered around travel.  Exploring the sites was interesting; something for every traveler.  I hope to use some of the tools to plan our summer road trip to AZ.  Time to get busy -

I am using Twitter more to follow than BE followed right now.  I have found some amazing resources in just reading the tweets posted from those I'm following.  I am currently watching (in segments) a 1 1/2 hr. presentation on Google Wave.Right now I'd classify myself as a Twitter stalker; testing out the format before becoming a regular poster.  Not sure where I register on the 5-stages

Once again I spent too much time on a Thing (enjoyed it though)!  Twitter is quite a different communication tool and one cannot help but hear the term spoken during the course of a day - if connected to current events in any of it's formats.  Following the links offered in this Thing proved to be fascinating. Twitter users run the gamut from fun to professional.  Can you imagine spending 3 hrs.

Library 2.0 has completely changed my ideas about technology.  I am well into my teaching career and very much a digital immigrant; to the point of thinking I missed the boat and would never "catch up" to digital progress in education.  I am certain now, through this experience, of the necessity of risk-taking when learning.  My sensitivity to how my students learn has been heightened and I am

At this point ELM is the total number of research resources our library can afford.  I appreciate the guidance 23Things offers to systematically and efficiently explore the ELM collection. GALE:  I set up my search alert for articles about information literacy, hoping to find guidance as a media specialist.  The email alerts will help me "remember" to stay focused the latest research,

I had heard of project calculators but not looked too closely at them until now.  What a great resource these can be for students and teachers.  The RPC is very thorough and user-friendly.  I liked the format and options for teachers and students at this site - what great samples and guidelines; complete with resources from starting the project to reflecting its quality.  I'm not sure how we'll

I have had little experience with online gaming.  My only exposure to it was watching my pre-teen play Club Penguin a few years ago.  I found Puzzle Pirate's navigation similar to that of Club Penguin - but really didn't take the time to navigate the site fully.  Second Life is a place I'd like to spend some time exploring - just no time left this summer with school prep in full swing.  This

I see much potential with Library Thing.  It takes quite a bit of time to build the "library" but it goes on my list of things to do.  Many times students want another book "...like the one I just read."  I see this tool as a point of access for students who want to search on their own for books based on what their peers are reading.  Posting lists on our school library media site is a must!

Wow did this Thing take some time - time well spent!  I had been developing Netvibes as my homepage after learning earlier this summer about its potential; so seeing other tools made me a bit crazy (application overload).  Netvibes allows me to customize pages for personal and professional use.  I can also set this as my homepage at work and benefit much from access to resources there.  Many

  I spent quite a bit of time on these sites and if I used this type of tool to scan the news I'd prefer Newsvine.   I like the idea that editors are not involved deciding what we are interested in or "should" be reading.  It will take some time to adjust to this type of news gathering but I'm going to give it a try.  I also enjoyed the photo feature on Mixx - very easy to use.  An aside...While

Learning to use these social bookmarking tools is a time-consuming challenge; especially creating an organized site.  Using electronic bookmarking as intended, to establish an effective and efficient resource, can streamline the search process.  Many connections can be made through searching the tags others are finding useful.  Using Delicious has already helped me secure information needed to

Using the resources from Thing 10 I plan to create a SMART Board wiki for our staff.  We are all quite new to this tool and will need an accessible resource to help us along.  I like the flexibility of a wiki and the ability to continually update information.  The history feature creates accountability and there are many options to keep the space private; allowing a safe space for staff or

I had trouble getting Google Doc and ZoHo writer to work...my requests to collaborate must have been blocked - returned as undeliverable.  Interesting to change documents from their original state.  I'll try these tools again but need to move on to the next Thing now.

Below is my 1st attempt at using VoiceThread.  I recently was introduced to this tool and wanted to give it a try.  It is extremely easy to use and I see many educational applications across the grades.  You are welcome to leave a VoiceThread comment.  A good application example is this VoiceThread as a class prepares for a Sagamore Hill field trip. Many other good examples are available at that

Grandma's Marathon 2008This Thing was fun...so much out there!  I can see students using a number of these tools to publish their work; collections from their research or pictures they've generated.  So many learners are visual and these Web tools aid in individualizing learning.  I personally see myself using Flickr and Big Huge Labs, and with that will come the confidence to help students

This post thus far has taken the most time...so much to read, watch, explore.  Our library uses e-mail simply to communicate requests within the building or send reminders.  I've seen so many options with Thing 7 it's going to take some reflection to determine our next step.  I listened to a couple Webinars on podcasting and have a few good ideas. I am excited about using podcasting to

Working with Image Chef was fun and I appreciate the applications suggested in the 23 Things blog.  Uploading created images has been a struggle for me; uploading multiple images in one post.  Practice, practice, practice!  Being new to many 2.0 tools I appreciate the suggested applications from those organizing this project.  Good ideas!

My image uploads did not work correctly.  When I opened my blog today the images were replaced by ?'s and a message that I could not link directly to Big Huge Labs from my blog.  I'll need to do some investigating!I had some trouble working with Spell with Flickr.  Can someone explain any of your tricks in using this tool?  It seemed cumbersome.I enjoyed exploring options with Flickr and see some

EDWARD DULLARD's photostreamFlickr has much to offer.  After exploring for a couple of hours I found some amazing pictures and ideas for using this site with students.  I am excited to work with students in labeling their digital work; especially liked that feature.

Streamlining the Web search  through RSS feeds will simplify my time online.  The directions were clear  and the video from Common Craft well-done.  I'm would like to use it with our staff.  I look forward to finding more feeds from my favorite sites; only took time to set up a few feeds today.

In reading the suggested material about Web 2.o I am interested in the opposing views concerning the relevance of these tools; or maybe some are simply concerned with the overuse of "2.0."  The debates are interesting and I understand the need for discussion.  In the meantime, I'll be working on familiarizing myself with Web 2.0.I can't imagine being in the business of information services and

This is my second attempt at creating a blog.  The first time was out of curiosity and I really didn't know what to do with it once it was created.  Now I have some direction and am very curious about the next 22 Things.  I look forward to working the challenge of 23 Things and hope to become more comfortable with Web 2.0 tools.
