Podcasts

I felt the podcasts were very helpful with explaining the different subjects in "23 Things." Some were very creative and fun to watch.

Exploring Web 2.0 Awards

Thing 19 - explore the Web 2.0 awards - this was fun to explore the different sites. Some of my favorites were Goowy, Be Green Now, and Pandora. All worth visiting. Also, I may visit Real Travel again since I am planning a trip to Florida in September and want to visit some new places in Central FL.

Web Applications

I love these web based applications! These applications make sharing documents so much easier because you don't need to be concerned about the version of the application. The docs and spreadsheets are new to me but I have been using the Google calendar. It is a great tool that makes my job easier. I'm hoping more staff will start using the Google calendar. So I'm writing this on the Google Docs web-based application and I believe I can send it to my blog........hmmm, let's see.

Quicksand Sandbox

Well, I'm not that impressed with the Sandbox Wiki and it is not user-friendly. However, I was able to link my blog to the sandbox wiki after some help from Kevin.

Smile - You're on the Internet

Has anyone tried Smilebox? I created a scrapbook and a postcard (with music and all of the embellishments) this weekend but I think I can only send it to my blog from my home pc where the pictures reside. This is a pretty cool site and fun to use, however, it can never replace the old-fashion scrapbook that gets handed down to the next generation.

Really Simple!

I am back tracking some - forgot to "blog" about RSS. Actually, I liked Bloglines and set up about 7 feeds to start, local news, weather channel, Information Wants to be Free...
