Thing 13

Posted by Connie on 22nd April 2008

This activity took me a long time because I had so much fun playing with all of the tools. I love the JigZone site and spent over an hour putting together puzzles. LetterPop will probably be the most useful to me as I gather materials to share with others in an appealing way. Eyespot is another site that I found that will be extremely useful as I create video materials to help promote the school. I know we were supposed to review two tools but it was so much fun!

I have visited the Online Conference site several times but tonight I actually listened to a wonderful overview of Second Life. It can be found at http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=164 .

Kevin did a wonderful job going into tremendous detail about this new virtual world. This experience actually made me feel somewhat more comfortable with the teen version. I also realize that there are some wonderful components that we cannot dismiss.

I enjoyed exploring Flicker and I must say that I learned much about the different types Creative Commons permissions. I also enjoyed exploring the various types of projects that one can create with Flicker.

I do a lot of work with internet safety so I selected a picture that I could use at a later time.
