Web 2.0 Discovery!!!

Very cool list, by the way! I explored the "Events" category, although I kinda made it to the site that got first place! upcoming.yahoo.com was pretty neat! I was able to type in any city and state and the genre of event I was looking for, and then it would list, in chronological order all the events in that area and surrounding areas. It sadly reminded me that I would be missing the Carrie Underwood concert happening in Fresno this Wednesday..... so sad! I would LOVE to see her in concert! I also used this site to help me find some things happening in Idaho where I will be spending quite a bit of time this summer. Unfortunately there aren't any good concerts in the CDA or Spokane area this summer.

Eeny Meeny Miny MOE!!!!

Oh my gosh... or shall I say OMG!!! (which I do sarcastically of course... that "saying" drives me bookers!) I don't know where to start.... What technology explored so far could be incorporated into my career? Well I got some pretty cool news last week!! I am going to be teaching the Junior/Senior AVID (advancement via individual determination) class for 1 period next year. Which basically means I get to teach these kids how to be successful and prepare for college.. all the while I am still going to school too! I think I am definitely going to incorporate into my curriculum a blog assignment for these kids to vent, discuss, explore, share, and discover all the little things about college they are looking forward too to are scared about. I think this will be a great trial run for how I might begin to incorporate blogs and other cool technologies into my Physical Education curriculum too! Twitter originally seemed annoying to me, but it is actually kind of fun to just "update" people, whether or not they care to know exactly what I am doing when I feel like posting on twitter! It's fun to see what other people are doing or are excited about. I think personally I will continue to use twitter, but I for sure see a few problems will allowing my high schoolers to keep me that up to date about there lives!!! Yea technology!!!

Online Productivity Tools

Not really a big fan of the online productivity tools. I looked into Google Docs. I think the concept behind them is pretty cool because I don't know how many times i've tried to open documents from someone or something and I didn't have the source they created it in. It was really annoying, but then I discovered... or shall I saw was introduced to a thing called adobe. So for the most part I don't have difficulties anymore. I tried creating a spreadsheet the way I do in excel and some of the shortcuts I use are not there or are not the same on Google Docs. It got pretty frustrating, which is why I chose not to publish it to my blog.... oh well... one dud tool among all these really cool ones isn't so bad.... see ya!
