I have had an amazing morning racing through the final weeks before the course was closed. I’ve been slack and couldn’t get back into it after the holidays! It seems so long ago that first attempt at blogging, but the following weeks have been full of discovery and……..at times, frustration!! Web 2.0 took me right […]
I have known about ebooks, but the World EBook fair site and Project Gutenburg is just amazing. The fact that they have over 100,000 books available for free is incredible. It is a site that could easily be used with students.
I have just visited the Ohio University Second Life Campus and I find it all a bit overwhelming. Obviously Second Life provides a unique setting for education,and I am still trying to get my head around it. If entire courses can be attended in Second Life it proves that education and learning can come in […]
I enjoyed going to the ABC podcast site and choosing a couple of podcasts to listen to – what a luxury. I think podcasts are another invaluable way of making resources available to us all. YouTube was blocked, but I was able to view TeacherTube. I could spend a lot of time on this. I […]

I wasn’t able to create my own iGoogle page because the page has been blocked. I cannot begin an account or make a page!The idea of a self designed page would be great. I love the idea of being able to personalise the page with RSS feeds, headlines, messages and weather! I read on someone […]
I was looking forward to creating an account in Google Docs, but the site is blocked! I read as much as I could and think it could be used in so many ways everyday. I like the idea of being able to share documents etc with work colleagues – it seems like it would streamline […]
This week we were asked to view MySpace and Facebook pages and to explore how libraries were using them. MySpace and Facebook are blocked at my school and they would not allow access. I tried viewing the libraries listed that use MySpace, but they were also blocked!I did a Google search and read a about […]
This week I used Blogline and had fun deciding what to suscribe to. I like the news information sources and quote of the day! I can see how this could become addictive!! I think it is a really efficient way to use the internet.
