Library 2 play #8 - revised with hot link

I like the RSS and readers because you have easy access to more up-to-date information. One of the ways I will use this technology is for "united streaming." Discovery Education usually updates their newest information but I never know when they do it. Libraries/teachers/administrators can use readers for easy access to blogs within the school/district.

Library 2 play #7

I set up a "google alert" for vacation deals. This is such a useful tool to use for any inquiry you wish to know about. I would use "google alert" in the library for the latest book publishings.
I also set up a "google calendar." It is so easy to use. I posted all my information for the week. I can just print it out to have it in close view in my classroom. You can add friend's calendars by adding their e-mail for sharing. Teachers can post assignments on these calendars so students can view them.

Library 2 play #6

I would use Flickr mashups for a kindergarten library lesson such as, the traveling of "Flat Stanley." I would be able to use many photos from Flickr and be able to paste them on a U.S. map from google. Also, I would use mashups for a Social Studies lesson in Texas. I would be able to use photos of resources found in Texas and paste them on a Texas map.

Library 2 play #4

Wow, it took me 2 hours to get my avatar into my blog!!

Library 2 play #3

Revised:
My strongest habit would be "beginning with the end in mind." I usually foresee what I need to achieve a certain goal.
My weakest habit would be "viewing problems as challenges." I go through stress when I come across a problem and I need to remind my self that it is indeed a "challenge" for life-long learning.
