Exploration 9 This Part Last

Well, that was quite an experience. I enjoyed watching "The Machine is Us/ing Us" again, although I found that even at 10:30 in the morning it took half an hour to load a five minute video. I think it explained why I am having trouble with a wiki I am working on for a class I am taking. If it is HTML based, and it seems to be, the problem must be the formatting constraints; I fear the form has not been separated from the content! Not that I know what that really means, but I think it sounds pretty cool.

Throughout my Explorations I have learned some knew tricks and found some things I would like to keep up with. I liked the experience and appreciate the planning that came before it. Thank you, one and all!

Yours truly,

Exploration 8 Facebook and Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is good, lots of possibilities for kids' programming. Facebook got me in trouble with my high school class, though. Our reunion's coming up and I never had so many friends when I was in school! geez.

Exploration 6 Zoho

I like the idea of sharing documents on Zoho, with read/write access for a group. And the fact that a previous version can be accessed means that if somebody goofs...

This is my son, Dan's, business card (more or less), retrieved in my pursuit of Zoho perfection.

Exploration 4 Feed Readers and RSS Feeds

I added Joyce Valenza's Never Ending Search in a feed reader just to make sure I never fool myself into thinking I'm on top of things Web2-wise. She is:

Joyce Valenza Ph.D
Joyce is the teacher-librarian at Springfield Township High School, a technology writer, and a doctoral candidate in the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program at UNT’s School of Library and Information Science.

She has some really cool stuff, like her virtual library:

Exploration 5 Library Thing

I have just entered 5 titles in Library Thing and I like it! I think I will use it often for Reader's Advisory, especially since I will be able to sort the books into categories by my tags. Plus, and this is key, I can't remember what I read ten minutes ago without strong hints.

Exploration 7 Wikis

These are a couple of wikis I did for a young adult class.











A knitting wiki

About Aspergers Syndrome

I like wikis for putting together different types of information on a topic.

Exploration 5.5 You Tube

Well, here's my new favorite singer, Susan Boyle.

This is useful for many things, watching lectures, learning to cook, etc.
