Musical Mystery

Week 9 Thing 23

2009-05-12T09:43:00.000-07:00

Finally, I made it to the end. I must say the flickr, and image generators were two of my favorite things to do, but thats mainly because I love photography. This program has encouraged me to integrate many of the lessons into my classes. There is nothing I would change about this program. I would participate in a proram similar to this if offered. One word I would say about this program, AWESOME!

Week 9 Thing 22

2009-05-12T09:10:00.000-07:00

I didn't see any free downloads on the World Fair ebook website. I like the idea of ebook, it helps the environment as far as recycling. Has links that allow a subscriber to look at several different ebook websites.

Week 9 Thing 21

2009-05-12T08:49:00.000-07:00

Podcast allow the audio trasmission of information over the net, with no visual effect. I have received forwarded emails that are on podcast, one of which was a recording of a prank phone call from a radio station. I went to Education Podcast Network (EPN) and it was very enlightening, epn has a wide range of Science information.

Week 9 Thing 20

2009-05-12T08:45:00.001-07:00

You tube is one of my favorite sites, I've learned many dances from watching you tube. It shows music videos, slideshows, dance tutorials, piano, as well as many other things. I think that the feature of having favorites would work in the library, allow students to catalog their books, magazines, and journals.

Week 8 Thing 19

2009-05-12T08:38:00.000-07:00

Library thing was very interesting. All five books that I named were in its catalog. 4 out of the 5 had at least 200 other members that were reading or have read the books in my catalog. I like this website, it helps if I need an idea for the next book to read or to maybe connect with others on books that I've read and get their opinion.

Week 8 Thing 18

2009-05-11T13:57:00.000-07:00

Zoho allows me to use any type of computer, which will allow me to read the document in the program that I desire. it allows me to save my document and access it from any computer so if I go on vacation, I can continue to create my class assignments although I wouldn't do work on vacation! LOL

Week 7 Thing 16 & 17

2009-05-11T12:59:00.000-07:00

Wiki's are awesome in that you are able to remove, edit, or change content. I viewed the library success wiki and it gives librarians a chance to share their ideas about what works for them in their particular libraries. Also it allows them a chance to share ideas. I also looked at an AP History wiki, it gave the groups of students and all the exam topics that they should have studied. I found a science, my background, wiki as well, it has different journals, jobs in the science field. http://mybio.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Week 6 Thing 15

2009-05-11T10:48:00.000-07:00

Creative Commons was a cool website. It shows how you can put your own twist on an already copyrighted piece of information. Integrating Web 2.0 into the Library will be a good thing. It will make the library an inviting place, by making it more user centered. It will allow for viewing of notes and reviews on literary pieces.

Week 6 Thing 14

2009-03-09T17:14:00.000-07:00

I searched Technorati with the keyword "School Library Learning 2.0" and search it in the Blog Directory, tags and posts. The results for the blog and tags were the same. When I searched those keywords under posts, the results showed the blogs that had the most keywords in them, and they did not actually refer to the actual School Library Learning 2.0. The most popular blogs were given in two categories. One was authority which gave the popularity to the blog with the most visitors and the other was by the fans. The 100 most popular tags were given in alphabetical order from A-Z. I liked the most popular tags, because you could click on any tag and find any blog on technorati that had to do with that particular subject.

Week 6 Thing 13

2009-03-09T16:14:00.000-07:00

I liked the Del.icio.us website because not only does it give you the most popular bookmarks but it also gives you the amount of people that have tagged that particualr page. It also shows the tags that each user had for the bookmark. This website allows a user to access their bookmarks from more than one location.

Week 5 Thing 12

2009-03-06T13:24:00.000-08:00

I went to Rollyo and created a searchroll of musical websites and titled it music. I really like it, I put in Anthony Hamilton and it brought up everything that these websites on him. I could also use it as an educational tool in my science classes.

Week 5 Thing 11

2009-03-06T12:58:00.000-08:00

I went to the music section (my first love) of the Web 2.0 awards list. I found Pandora, which allowed me to create my own internet radio station. I put in one of my favorite artist, Anthony Hamilton, and the website played his songs as well as other artists that are his musical genre. I really like this website and it was free to join, so I am now a member.

Week 5 Thing 10

2009-03-06T12:38:00.001-08:00

I used comic strip generator for this pic. I thought using Bart Simpson in his victory pose went hand in hand with a graduation. I like using comic strip generator, I would probably use it in a photo slideshow.

Week 4 Thing 9

2008-12-16T00:26:00.000-08:00

I looked on Technorati, Topix and Google, I didn't really find a website that I would keep up with. On Technorati, I found a website talking about advertisement on the school buses as they are on the metro buses. http://www.edexcellence.net/flypaper/index.php/2008/12/re-the-wheels-on-the-buscarry-an-ad/

I found Technorati to be the easiest to use.

Week 4 Thing 8

2008-12-15T23:55:00.001-08:00

I liked using google reader, it allowed me to go to 5 websites within a couple of seconds. It also allows me to get more accomplished in less time. I wish I had Google Reader back when I was in college, it may have eliminated some of the many hours of searching Internet sources. I chose, of course a music website, yahoo education word of the day, and CNN news. I chose two others but these three are websites that I really look forward to reading, they encourage a diverse thought process dealing with music, education, and world awareness.

Week 3 Thing 7

2008-12-15T23:23:00.000-08:00

I am so happy I took this class. I can now eliminate my "middle man", Walgreens, who I am continuously paying for special orders for my favorite pics. I can now use flickr and motivator to decorate these pics and just take them to Walgreens and pay regular price for the printing of the pic. So I haven't completely eliminated the "middle man", but it won't cost as much to use him. I have an ancient digital camera that I am continuously using to create memories, and I think that this class will help to make the sharing of my memories more special.

Week 3 Thing 6

motivator6413852, originally uploaded by nyceej.

I used motivator to create this frame, this is a pic from my cousin's recent graduation. I am continuously learning that I am not as technology smart as I thought I was! I can use this tool for many occasions, I am usually labeled the unoffical photographer because I love taking pics.

Week 3 Thing 5

2008-12-15T22:59:00.001-08:00

John Legend goes Texan, originally up

loaded by Kookie Munstah.

My first love is music and I was playing around with flickr and one of my all time favorite singers is John Legend. So I decided to search for pics of him. I just happened to go to this concert, which occured during the Houston Livestock Show.

Week 2 Thing 3 & 4

2008-12-01T17:43:00.000-08:00

I had fun attempting to choose a layout and I especially had fun creating my avatar. I choose a look that I won'twear to work, not because of professionalism , but comfort. I think my avatar represents my personality well. I chose a classroom as the background because if you know me or work with me, I spend alot of time in there.

Week 1 Thing 1&2

2008-12-01T17:38:00.000-08:00

Its amazing how I thought I was so technology "savvy" with telecommunication, but starting this class has shown me how I am still quite challenged in this area. I started to not take this class, but this may be an interesting journey after all.
