email - I have to admit that I am tempted to say "time waster". I feel it is our responsibility as a professional to make sure we are using email as a productivity tool. It has helped open communication with parents and staff. However, I am annoyed by how many emails I open each day that are silly jokes and other time wasters.
IM - TIME WASTER! Students are IMing each other while doing homework or other tasks.
Web Conferencing - I watched my husband hold an interview with 3 other employers. I was amazed by the technology and wondered how I might ever use it.
I visited the Ebooks and Netlibrary. I did not attend the Webinar but downloaded the handouts.

Thing #6 March 31, 2008
My third grade class just finished making trading cards with their Media Specialists last week. I just added the projects into their conference folders. I would have never taken the time to understand how they created them if it wasn't for 23 things on a stick.
Created with fd's Flickr Toys.

Thing #5 More fun with Flickr- March 31, 2008
Today I am experiementing with splasr. I'm not sure exactly why I copied this to my blog but I was hoping to see what I had created. I'm excited about all the options for students to be able to use in the Media Center, unfortunately, you can see that I need a lot of help before I can teach them to use any of it.

Thing #4- Flickr try #2
Well, I opened a flickr account, uploaded an image, and tagged the image "23 things on a stick". Sounds successful? yes, but I have no idea how to locate the blog this, button. I have spent a fair amount of time on this. Unfortunately, I will need to move on to Thing # 5 before I have figured this out. Sorry.
Thing #4- March 25, 2008
This is my second attempt to upload my image. Here goes. I guess I need to learn patience and follow simple directions! These pictures were taken on our family trip to Custer, SD. The photographer was Krissy Alders. I will next attempt to create a Flickr account. Stay tuned.

Thing #3 March 3, 2008
RSS - I loved the idea. Any thing that saves you time and makes us more effecive with our time is a great idea. The hard part for me was deciding what to subscribe to. I decided to choose one favorite, just for fun, and then use my PLC Math topic for the others. I am hoping to find lots of good information on math interventions, teaching math problems with real-life applications, and what math concepts students need to first master to be successful math thinkers.
