After looking at all of the information that your cell phone can do i realize that I am also being left behind...there are so many things you can do with a cell phone you just don't know where to start. I feel like Luann a cell phone is no longer just for making phone calls. Now that we were on vacation my son took out his Blackberry to get directions, find the restuant number, call, and make dinner reservations no more of wondering if you are lost or not (no more reason to stop and ask for directions. Now using it in the school room there are lots of possiblities and lots of issues that can come up with cheating, texting each other for the answers , googling the answers, the cheating possiblites are endless. I am sure in my life time the laptop will be replaced by the iphone or something like that it is all ready on its way of doing that. Just looking at the websites that are out there is endless. i just like knowing that I can google a business or resturant on my cell phone and get directions and a phone number and know where I am going.
Lots of information to digest.

thing 21 copy right
Research, research, research...I think like anything you want to do well you have to practice, practice, practice. Research is one of the best ways to have them practice. Teaching copyright to students means that you have to keep repeating the process to them. I also think this is something that you have to remind teachers that they have to also follow the process. How many times have you asked teachers if they have taught this to their students and they look at you like you are asking them to do something illegal:)
thing 20 social networking
social networking is not something that I would do on a regular basis but I can see where and how it can be a useful thing for some people. I know that Martha Stewart has a MySpace page and people visit her regularly. If you need to communicate with a large group of people then that is one way of doing it. what I like about these sites are that you can find information on just about anything that you are looking for. I went to Open Food Source and find a new site for recipes I am always looking for a new recipe.
thing #17
award winning apps: I like using Craigslist as a free community market place. I used it when we were moving to Longmont to sell items that I did not want to move. We had an old upright piano that was pretty heavy and belonged to my son and he was not moving it to California and I was not moving it to Longmont so Craigslist it was and I had five phone calls for it in less than half-an-hour it worked just as advertised. If you need it or want to sell it Craigslist is the place to look for it.

thing 14
I made a podcast followed directions but when it came time to put in on my blog I could not figure out how to get a url address to put it on so everyone can hear my book talk. Not as easy as it looks but I can see how you can use it on your school website. I would like to see it used in the classroom especially for kids with disabilities or those who are "challenged".
