Thing 22

OK, here's my wiki https://knowtes.wikispaces.com/ . What a great way to collaborate. This is more than just self-expression (which is what blogs allow you to do and then others respond). This is "here's my work" and now it's your turn. Change it, add to it, revise it, edit it, delete it (scary) but I WANT you to put your 2 cents in. I would imagine that you have to be ready not to "own" whatever you put out there. It's amazing how differently people see things. I learned that with tags. I never cease to be amazed at what people put under certain tags?????? At any rate, if I had a class of students I would definitely use wikis. This is a tool I would choose as a teacher and then go deep with. As always, thanks for listening. Leslie

Thing 15

When I subscribed to 2¢ Worth I had no ideas how many articles were going to show up. I did discover the clippings link which allows me to save any part of the post I choose in a file. It gives me the option of reading them later, keeping it for future reference and sharing them with others. I don't feel so bad now when I "Mark them read" and they disappear. I'm not so worried that I missed something or eliminated something of importance. As always, Thanks for listening. Leslie

Thing 14

Roughly 3 hours ago I started working in Delicious. I had asked a question about the bookmarks I had on my computer - well it imports them for you in no time. There is a catch - they had no tags so now I must organize all 289. I'm thinking that since I'll be able to access them anywhere I won't complain. It's just going to take me a while to get all 28 pages done. I'm up to page 6 and the bundle feature seems to be working the best. I am shellie161. Back to Delicious! As always, thanks for listening, Leslie

Just in time!! I have folders in my favorites on my home computer and recently started grouping sets of web sites together so I could easily have them all open in tabs for easy access. Well, bless my soul I was having to put websites in multiple folders AND my home computer is all organized but have to do it all over on my work computer. Just like Thing 13 said! I'm convinced - now all I have to decide is whether to try to move those 150+ favorites into delicious. Is there a quick way to do that? As always, thanks for listening. Leslie

Thing 11

Now that I have clicked on every Blog participant in the 23 Things list I'm left with mixed feelings. First, I did not leave any comments, the things I read were interesting, some very well done but as lifehacker says, "Don't comment for the sake of commenting. " Second, several times I really wanted to know who people were, maybe not a name but at least a few ideas about the author. Most of the links on view my profile contained little or no information. I'm going to work harder on my own. Privacy is important and security is worthy of all the attention we give it. I guess I still want some kind of personal touch to help me connect with the writing. Third and last to refer back to lifehacker's thought on commenting for the sake of commenting so it is with blogging for the sake of blogging. I am reminded of why I chose the title for this blog. For the purposes of K-12 education, curriculum drives technology - not the other way around. Where time is limited and resources dwindling I repeat - choose wisely and go deep. As always, thanks for listening. Leslie
