Thing #14

I was not able to find anything on School Library Learning 2.0. The popular blogs search from #2 was not available. Technorati is not as user friendly as I would like it to be. I'll keep playing around with it. I like how I can create the tags in blogger, delicious, and flickr. That way I can search for what I am looking for. I am going to use a blog to send information to parents this year. The tags will help the parents find important information.

Thing #6

The mashups are really neat. I plan on using the Trading Card Maker this year in science. The students can make trading cards about various concepts and share them with the class. I also want to make some motivational posters. Using my own pictures should be fun! I want my students to learn about Flickr and how to appropriately use the site to save pictures. Students are not very clear about copyright laws and we need to start early to educate them on correct use of internet resources.

Thing #5

I enjoyed searching Flickr. I plan on using this to search for Science images to integrate with my science units. I love this picture of the clouds. We do learn about different types of clouds. Also, with all the rain and cloudy days recently, my son and I have been talking about different clouds.
