Shelley, this has been a wonderful course and I have learned so much.  I am planning to set up a staff development wiki which will help teachers learn new things in small bites. I think I will also use Jing to create “how to” videos and I am excited about it.

It is a great place to share resources and get new and wonderful ideas.

I am not sure if I like PageFlakes better or my iGoogle page. I think I would use PageFlakes more with our students.

What a wonderful way to share collaborative documents. I will use it for staff dev. signups, course trainings, and even with parents at the laptop rollout event.

My favorites include: David Warlick’s Education Podcast Network, the NPR podcasts and the video podcasts.

I can see some wonderful applications in the history and science classroom after exploring some wonderful podcasts that really explained the material. I would also love to post a weekly morning news show podcast one day on our website.

The most interesting thing to me is the support that so many people are getting to continue working toward their goal. I made may list and then changed it quite a few times as I looked over other suggested list items.

This is cool!

I added several books that I have already read and actually received some wonderful suggestions.

I have tried to keep up with the books that I read by creating an index card system but I always forget to keep it updated. Since I am on the computer every day, this will be much more convenient for me.

I do need to futher organize my bookmarks but I continue to keep adding and tagging new sites. I want to a compare couple of other online bookmarking sites such as Diigo but I don’t know when I will have the time.
