Fun things to try!
The web is such a wonderful playgound these days! I have had so much fun lately. I signed up for a Twitter account. Note: I have not used this yet but want to play with it some more. I even have one follower on this! http://www.twitter.com.
I am also on a social networking site: http://projectsbyjen.ning.com This is a social networking site for teachers. The funny thing is that when I attempted to get on this site at school I got a red screen! A red screen occurs when the site is blocked for pornography reasons.
I set up a skype account and have been talking online to colleagues from all over! Such fun! http://www.skype.com. If you haven’t checked out skype yet, please do so!
The most fun I have had recently is with voicethread. http://www.voicethread.com. I have created four instructional movies:

http://www.quia.com/pages/presidentsday.html
I also did a voice thread to show teachers how to access the servers in our division so that they can find resources from the shared folders each is provided.
I love all these new gadgets!
