Ok, I'm with Julie - I'm totally on sensory overload this week. Also like Julie, I've just come back from a camping weekend, Nevada for a week following the camping trip, and my "baby"'s 2nd birthday party the day after we got home. Needless to say, I'm a little spent anyways!!!
I signed up for a del.icio.us account and immediately panicked that something was "out there" that shouldn't be from my bookmarks. I deleted a couple of things I thought might not be good and figured what the hell - what could I really have that's not ok. We'll see. Also, not quite sure I like the tool bar that came along with it - I think I like it better hidden behind a button, like "bookmarks". Maybe after playing with it I can find a hide toolbar function or something. I did find a neat primary academic games site that I never would have found otherwise and think that I will really enjoy the feature after getting used to it all.
As far as the technorati - I'm a bit overwhelmed there too. My brain is not letting me be practical about searching around. But, the little I was able to do, I think after really getting into it, I could find some great information. If I'm totally honest, I can't do it today - it's just not making sense to me. I can't figure out how to do all the searches, blogs-tags-etc.
I agree with Steve Hargadon that web 2.0 is not going away, and as stated before, I also believe we should be up on what's happening out there - especially as teachers. I could not access the Chris Riedel reading - kept getting a server error of some sort. It must be true that God only gives you what you can handle. LOL. Seriously, if someone could give me the cliffnotes version so I know what I missed?

I am not a fan of adding things to my toolbar, either. But I use delicious a lot so it makes sense to have the instant tab function!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I wasn't the only one, once again! I'm also glad that we're both enjoying the summer with the kids!
