Wow, I was just on the phone with Alison talking about you. Spooky. We're wondering about the whole members vs. friends question. When we each open up the Seminar page, it only lists 3 members (me, you, and Alison). Alison is wondering if perhaps ...

Dizzy with Info

I could probably sit here all day doing this research. There's just so much out there, and so much I want to learn about my topic. I'm finding that the more I search, they more questions open up and the more I want to know. I think I'm going to need to revisit this morning's loop writing to refocus myself and my search.

I think that's an important point to remember about taking students through the research process - that managing research is a task in itself and in order to make research manag… Continue

What we can learn from a Texas Ranger ...

Did anyone see Josh Hamilton hit those 28 home runs in the first round of the All-Star Home Run Derby last night? Man ... what a performance!

He was last to bat in the line-up. I think there were five or six batters before him, and by the time he stepped up to bat, the top score of home runs was 8. He went on to hit 28. 28! At one point, I believe he hit 17 home runs in a row. In-cred-ible.

This is the guy people have been talking about in the news lately. I believe the story goes that when he… Continue

Reflections on Tumbler & Google Reader

I am so uncomfortable right now.
This is the anxiety that motivated me to take this class in the first place.
It's very strong and ugly right now, and I'm feeling extremely anxious and frustrated.

Perhaps I'm just on information overload, but there is just so much information out there in the world. I think it's really difficult because when navigating these on-line sources, you really have to be skilled at several things simultaneously. First, you need the time, the interest, and the intellige… Continue

Putting it all to use ...

Hi everyone. Like Beth, one of the things I've found interesting about the last two weeks is the collaborative nature of Web 2.0 tools - the way they can be used to communicate across (or within groups or with individuals outside of your own network and across the country for that matter). I'm thinking particularly about the ning here. I'd like to do more thinking about the ways in which I can use a ning in my own workshop series or graduate courses with teachers to build community in a building… Continue

This was so much fun! And it really combines so many different skills. I love that the learning was so layered. First, it's visual; second, there's a writing component; third, it incorporates such an interesting technological program; and fourth, you get the… Continue

You're truly welcome Julie. I've been working in the technology department for almost 13 years now so I guess something had to rub off LOL. I also think that when we sit together as a group without using technology we can certainly get great ideas from each other. I wish we had more time for that too. For instance, a book club came to mind for one of my staff members to create on a ning for students.

Julie, I love what you said about using Hypertextopia as a way to get kids interested. I just wish I could do it in my classroom (we don't have enough computers) so I could monitor them and know that they are working. Thanks for the insight - it helped a lot!

First of all I loved your Avatar! As a Librarian, I used to feel the same way. I thought computers would eventually rule over books and that books one day would be obsolete , but I have learned over the course of 12 years that the two can peacefully co-exist and that people will always want to communicate verbally with one another. Have faith that we will never stop doing so!
