School Library Things: Thing #19: Web 2.0 Awards List
http://schoollibrarythings.blogspot.com/2009/07/blog-post.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Thing #19: Web 2.0 Awards List. It was really hard to stop once I got started with this list. Like the saying goes, "So many books (Web 2.0 tools), so little time". I started with YourMinis. Next I looked at Netvibes. I also looked at Mango Languages. Which is a subscription tool for learning conversational skills in foreign languages, and Picnik.

School Library Things: Thing #22: Nings
http://schoollibrarythings.blogspot.com/2009/07/thing-22-nings.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. I've been somewhat confused about the difference between blogs, wikis, and nings, so I Googled the terms and found lots of discussion on the topic. The most humorous explanation I found was by John Maklary here. Blogs - one voice at head of table. Wikis - equal voices around the table. Ning - big honkin' party. So in ning, bounce/brainstorm ideas. Back and forth discussion. Actionable ideas/consensus get formed and articulated on wikis. Labels: Library 2.0. Me in the mountains.

School Library Things: Thing #20: YouTube, TeacherTube and Zamzar
http://schoollibrarythings.blogspot.com/2009/07/thing-20-youtube-teachertube-and-zamzar.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Thing #20: YouTube, TeacherTube and Zamzar. Obvious ways that teachers will find these sites useful are as teaching tools, for reviews, for emphasizing parts of a lesson, for reteaching, as a quick focus on particular areas of study, and more. Students might use them also to review, or to embed into presentations for assignments. One of the videos I chose to embed into this post is from TeacherTube, and focuses on the themes in To Kill a Mockingbird:. July 22, 2009 at 5:26 PM.

http://schoollibrarythings.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2009. Thing #10, part 3. Sorry to keep talking so much about image generators, but I've had a lot of fun with this and want to see my pictures on the blog. This one was created with the jigsaw puzzle tool in Dumpr. The photo was taken at a youth camp in South Texas. Beautiful place. Thing # 10, part 2. ImageChef.com Poetry Blender. We have a teacher at my school who is crazy about happy faces. I can't even imagine what all she could do with Happy Face Generator. Kay, are you listening?

School Library Things: Thing #18: Online Productivity Tools
http://schoollibrarythings.blogspot.com/2009/07/thing-18-online-productivity-tools.html
Thursday, July 16, 2009. Thing #18: Online Productivity Tools. To become more Web 2.0 savvy. And of course the best part of all. they are FREE! For severely underfunded schools, this could be a huge advantage. I really had not explored Google Docs enough to know what all was there. Besides the documents, presentations and spreadsheets, I'm impressed with the hundreds of templates that are available. I will definitely be using the flash cards, as well as the gas mileage chart when we go on vacation.

School Library Things: July 2009
http://schoollibrarythings.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Back to Thing #12. I've waited until the end of this journey to finish my post for Thing #12 because I wanted to explore more blogs not associated with our Library2Play group before commenting. Now I will share a couple that have been meaningful to me. The first is Turning Pages. The second blog I will comment on is Kathy Schrock's Kaffeklatsch. Blogs - one voice at head of table. Wikis - equal voices around the table. Ning - big honkin' party. Labels: Library 2.0. My videocast ...
