Technorati

"Thing 14"

Bloggies ceremony - Who would have thought that there was an award ceremony established for great blogs. Here it is. Check out this site to see how Lifetime Achievement and Best Group Blog awards went.

www.boingboing.net

Technorati.com rated this the most popular blog in the world.

I wish I didn't have such a slow server at home. You have to have high speed for the majority of what we are doing. DOL is not the best with this activity.

Del.icio.us

"Thing 13"
Not too long ago, SCPSs Tech leaders experienced a wonderful presentations by two users of Del.icio.us. The lightbulb came on as we walked through this together and set up an account. This truly saves you time and anguish when you struggle to find the site needed or did you remember to bring the information where ever you are on your data stick. This saves you time in that aspect as well as gaining access to already previewed and recommended sites by other Del.icio.us users. I highly recommend the use of this site in order for you to access what you found to be useful no matter the workstation you are on.

Sometimes its' nice to see what others have read and the ratings to guide you with what to read next. This is a unique site I didn't know about until now. I did place a book from what I am currently reading but it is also nice to see recommended litearture for the grade level children you are with. I have recommended a book by Spinelli the 5th grades loved when I was in the elementary classroom. This could be a great site for teachers to refer to for this reason as well.
