Thing #4
Technorati: it is truly another search engine. I looked at entertainment, home decorating and finally middle school book list....nothing....middle school reluctant readers...nothing I wanted to take the time to read....I got lots of Christian book clubs not what I was looking for. This site reminds me of looking at a Readers Digest any thing you are looking for is in here. I can see how trying to find that unusual answer to that unusual question can be found on this site. Interesting.... will I remember to use it...probably not. We are creatures of habit...we just learned how to use the computer and the Internet and get rid of the typewriter (unless you are at Sunset and still use it) now there is something else out there to I need to learn? Maybe?? I am still learning how to use text messaging on my phone and all of the other links to my cell phone...there is a tip calculator...which I need to know how to use:) (found it by accident) I learned how to text Goggle on my cell phone and get a business if I need to know the address to put in my GPS or get the phone number to see if they are still opened or find the local theater if I am not home to get the movie times or what movies are coming out....those are useful tools for me MAYBE if I get the hang of Technorati it may become useful to me also.

I think it is one of those tools in the box that will be indespensible once we bring it up to the top drawer. Mastery of anything takes time and desire. We'll all get there, at least we are exploring!
Mslinda is always so encouraging and postive! Remember she is the eager beaver to learn all of this new stuff. The kids at SHS are so lucky to have Mslinda and Myra!!
Not to throw another wrench in the works, but hopefully everyone will try the tool I mentioned in the first class: Google Blogs. That is a great place to search for blogs that may be of interest. I know that there's a lot of middle school library sites out there. The key, just like what we tell the kids, is our search terms. Remind me in our class to take a quick look at Google Blog Search.
H Maddy,
hey I have a typewriter here also. I think mine will disapear this year though.
I got so fed up with technoradi and google blogs today I went to simple old google. And I found some things!
