Thing # 8
Google Reader certainly helps me organize and make "my favorites" list shorter. I am always losing good sites I have found on "my favorites". I could do this all day. I subscribed to several "foldable" activity sites, teaching plot activities, and main idea activities and powerpoints.

Thing # 7
I really liked google advanced search. I never knew about .ppt to find already made presentations on any subject. I searched "verbs" and found several great ones I will use in my classroom this upcoming year on the activeboard. Great tool.

We used Googledocs this year in our classes. The students typed all of their papers and essays using this tool. It was great. They emailed us assignments this way.

I had a terrible time with Bookr...I made several books....published.....sent to email.....tried to copy and attach to blog.....nothing worked.....so I gave up. If I could ever figure this out....I would be great for my ESL/Resource kids.

I really enjoyed the mosiac...I love to take pictures and do collages. The kids will love this.

Thing # 5

The dog on the bottom of the picture is a twin to my American Staffordshire Bull Terrior, Yankee. I found this picture on Flicker. I could have spent hours looking at dogs. This will be a good tool to use in my classroom when my students want to add specific pictures to their projects.

Thing # 3
I loved making ME on Avatar.....I actually made 2...in case I want to change some time in the future. I was not happy about having to make 2 new email accounts in yahoo and gmail. I barely have time to get through my school email daily.

Thing # 2

The easiest habit for me is to teach/mentor what I have learned or know.

The hardest habit for me is to view a problem as a challenge - I view it as a crisis.
