Oh boy.

Ok i have to admit, at first I was not crazy about the blog project but I would have never learned about some of the stuff.

This things is amazing or delicious. I will definitely use this tool and also tell my family& friends about the tool. I searched art lessons and immediately found millions of bookmarks from other educators. I do not like to just copy and paste a lesson plan of the internet but sometimes I find myself against a wall without new creativity. In this case i would google something but I have never had as much luck as I did just now.

Delicious is amazing and I am going to finish this blog post so I can explore further, I have to write 5 lesson plans for my Art education class.

Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page?

Spring Flowers appealed to me because it reminds me of some floral painting. its fresh but also shows history. I just liked it. I made it my permanent home page because i did not like the one that had been made for me.

How can the online calendars be useful to you?
What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…?

I decided to do the TO-DO list because i usually write lists down. I like that i can create them like this so I did. I used the ta da list and i have not figured out if i can post it to my blog but when i do i will. Here is the link to my to do list (click here).

Did you find a tool that has some uses for you at the school or at home? Which tool(s) would you recommend to others?

I love love love google so i must say that i already use google alot. i learned some new stuff about google today. i knew that i could change the the background but I never tried it. i love the profile now. I love the to do lists and if i have the time to go online to create one i will.

I have heard of wikipedia. Mostly because professors tell college students not to believe anything that is posted on Wikipedia for the fact that everyone and anyone can alter the posts or could have written it in the first place. I personally look up wikipedia before researching a unknown topic. At least I get an idea of what it is I am looking for which makes scholarly research so much easier.

I had never heard of wiki's for educational or anyother information gathering. I explored some of the websites and it is amazing.

Yeah Wiki's are great.

As you can see above I decided to explore mindmeister and gliffy flowchart (which I didnt know how to upload being that it was a word file). I actually had looked at the assignment and didnt have time to do it that moment. Yesterday while I was working on the internet scavenger hunt I decided to look into the flowchart because I was looking for a fast and easy way to make a worksheet. It did not end up being fast and easy but I think it could be a great tool to use in the futur. I would have to spend somemore time with the tool though. Mindmeister was a little easier to work with. I enjoyed it and believe to make use of it when I start teaching.

ZOHO

I am still impressed how the zoho writer was able to post a document into my blog. I might start writing my blog post there because it is a lot better than the format that blogger offers. Zoho has so much to offer that it was a little overwhelming for me at first, and still is. I think the Zoho can be very beneficial for personal and professional purposes because just like Google Reader, everything is in one place from word processing to presentation tools ect.

test 1

This is a test and it works...wow I am impressed

The is more to Google?

I enjoyed exploring the igoogle, google calender and the Picasa Web Album.
I liked igoogle and Picasa Web Album for personal purposes. Just like i enjoyed the Google Reader for the reason that everything thing is in one thing i enjoy igoogle and picasa web album.
The google calender I thought might be helpful later on for teaching. Planing and keeping on track is so important in a hectic environment like teaching.
