Thing 15 Library 2.0
I watched the video and I wonder about there numbers Yes I know the 20,000 in dept and Yes I know about the face book and even more people are face booking from their cell phones. Watch a 20 something person have conversation in the quite seconds they are texting They do it with out being noticeable we in the classroom have taught them to text witout being seen They are checking the web finding direction updating web sites or just saying OMG
So how can I teach so all student can learn?
I continued reading and continued watching what Michael Has to say and how he is reaching the student and how he is using web 2.0
He is getting his student to do real work and real thinking with participating video It was interesting and worth watching

So I was slow to get going today and I read Delicious I had seen it years ago and thought OK the page of words I read on and put in education thinking so how will this help my student and I found
• How do you spark off an interest in maths when the curriculum seems dreary? | Education | The Guardian SAVE
o resource
o toread
o teaching
o education
so this was cool there were things I could use and then I found the cloud that was the part I know about You can save things and still find them.

Thing 8

Thing 8
This is the RSS feed
I know that I like to check certain news sites daily looking for news stories that are important to my life so having a reader that puts them all together for one quick look and organized to find what I need is quite helpful.
I was a little worried about subscribing to the news feeds because I was not sure what it would do to the tools I use every day but this made it all manageable.

Google does have a lot to offer. The tools were a lot of fun I like Google earth best. Web history could also be helpful. I know that I use atomic learning when I need to get unstuck on a computer problem.

Thing 5 Flicker
I started using flicker this summer so today I decide to look at Ike. I knew I would see a lot of pictures and it is interesting to see the other Ike besides the hurricane It is good to remember that with every search you are going to find more than what you are first looking for.
With the other 23 things that I start with this summer I saw montages of things that are blue or picture made of small picture
I liked the Interesting in the last 7 days some of the picture have a great way of looking at the ordinary

Thing 3

Thing 3 Setting up the blog and creating an Avatar
I found the blog to be easy I just learned early that I need to type up my Blog in Word and use spell check to make all correction before posting I also saw how I can change up my blog in the customize section at the top
I can go back and edit my posting and remove them if I need to.
I can change my layout and change my colors. This helps.
I have created my avatar trying to add all the parts of who I am but was still limited. I had trouble adding the HTML script and finally just exported the picture and pasted in on the page. Maybe some one else had better luck and could share their success.

Thing 2

Ok I am a little out of sequence.I am back at thing 2 with the life long learning. I would consider my self as a life long learner. I do yoga and have taken up cycling recently. I will read books that teach new ideas; I also will seek out and find webinars. I would like to inspire my students to be life long learners. I would like to allow them to go online and continue their learning with the web. I will like to use what I have learned here to add to my web site to contiue the studnets learning I like the idea of accept responsibility for your own learning. Not just learning way the class covers.

I am at a workshop I thought was about problem based learning. It has turned out to be work on the new Macs computer. Wow new technology for me

We are looking at what do students need to learn
Agricultural age Industrial Age Information Age, now conceptual age

Last night I was able to watch edutopia’s engaging the digital generation
Looking at way to teach students It reminded me of the rubrics

#5 (Week 3). Explore Flickr and learn about this popular image hosting site.

So now I am using Flicker. .I have looked at other picture from the Tour de Cure and have uploaded my own.
I am wondering how I am going to use this with my students for math.

Day 1 an I am ready to begin
This summer should produce a lot of learning and growth
