Update

Well, since creating my Facebook account I've found an old college friend and caught up on lost time.
I've gotten sucked into Wordshoot -- Very Addictive!
And finally I ran my blog through the "Blog Readability Test" (Personally, I think they tell everyone their blog is "Genius" level) Oh well, who's to complain.

Wikis

After looking at a few of the district wikis you get an idea of the potential that could be used here. The YAAB groups from all over the district have a centralized place to post events, photos, suggestions for the district -- really whatever they want. I really enjoyed checking out IS "fugitive" wiki what a great way to have everything in one accessable place add to it or update whatever is needed. As a student wikis are great! You can coordinate and plan group projects from all over the country and not one person is left "holding the bag" so to speak. because you can tell exactly who and what was contributed. So I think this is a great tool people just have to commit to using it.

LibraryThing

Well, I created a LibraryThing account. I like how you can add a widget directly to your blog. Mine looks pretty good. I found that under tools on their website you have the option of joining their early reader program. You can sign-up to review some pre-published books. Just a simple little review and you get to keep the book. Fun!

using Technorati.com

Technorati just looks too confusing and messy for me. Maybe if you used it all the time you would get used to it and know all the little nuances but for now I can't really see the need.
When searching for "Learning 2.0" under Blog posts I found 18,125 results, under Tags I got 1,310 posts, and using their Blog Directory I got 592 blogs. So big differences -- maybe blog directory would be the way to go.

Del.icio.us

Well, I liked Del.icio.us -- I was able to use the site to research some subjects for school and found some interesting websites through everyone's bookmarks. I also found some great sites with ideas for possible childrens programs that have been tried at other libraries around the country. It's also nice to have access to your bookmarks where ever you are since I work at several different places this is handy.

Reflection Maker generator:

As you can see I've been having fun this last week with all kinds of interesting (potentially useful) toys. I especially enjoyed the Spread Effect generator and this reflection maker. I continue to check my RSS Feeds and find them quite useful for school & staying current on the news.

This was fun! Great little graphics toy.
