"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.

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.

LibraryThing
"Thing 11"

http://www.librarything.com/profile/Soccer-Mom 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.

Avitar
"Thing 10"
This is amazing but time consuming. Where does the time go when you are having fun creating things like this. If only the plate wasn't overflowing with other things to do, time would not be of worry to have more fun with the avitar. I did post one to my profile but would love to revisit this and play more with it later. My sons play with online games and the Wii where they get to create these things. Wouldn't it be grand to be in their 'league'. Have fun creating yours.

Flickr Fun
My attempt at the trading card!!
"Things 5, 6 and 7"
Flickr is amazing. Finding photos and much more for anything at all is wonderful. You can do interesting things to your own pictures. But when. There you have it. That habit of mine that seems to get in the way. "Play". Tell me when and I'll try my best. With time, I could spend all the time in the world playing with these tools and do so with my kids and their photos. My middle son loves to play with photos on the computer. This would be great to spend time with him 'playing'. I wish I had more time to explore and take advantage of. My friends would love to use this for their hobby with scrapbooking. Great thing to share.
