Create

So I am only a little bit behind, but no surprise there. I have "played" with several of the tools that were options for challenge 3, but I realized that I had never actually created anything using them. I often assign my student assistants the task of figuring them out. I will post some additional projects that they have created using some cool tools, but for now, here is my Animoto video. This also made me realize I don't take enough pictures for Battle of the Books...

Battle of the Books 2010

Challenge 2 part 2

I guess I should have read through all of the challenge before I posted.  I explored several other participant's blogs and commented on a couple.  One of my comments can be found at http://hookedontechnology-jennifer.blogspot.com/2011/08/smartboards-ipads-and-google-apps.html#comments.  As far as my selection of blogs I subscribed to, Doug Johnson and Joyce Valenza are the library/tech gurus in my book.  As I said previously, now I just have to remember to log on and read.

I have a Twitter account.  I can't remember why I signed up, but I think it was some sort of contest.  Apparently I didn't win.  I guess I might understand twitter better if I had a smart phone.  Instead, I have a dumb phone and it is just as easy for me to log on to Facebook and tell people what I am doing as it is to log on to Twitter to do the same.  Of course, who really cares what I am doing????

So I am finally getting around to the second challenge.  I am determined to finish on time, so I thought this would be a good way to deal with my insomnia.  I subscribed to a few blogs (Doug Johnson, Joyce Valenza, and of course the DPS Technology Challenge), but I know my problem will be remembering to sign in to my Google account and actually read the blogs that I've subscribed to.  So much to do, so little time...
