Teacher Tube is great. I put in Economics and view several clips that will be very useful as a review or introduction to new concepts. It also will be of high interest to students and will provide something fun in the dismal science of Economics. This is one I will definitely use in the classroom.

Wow - this one was one that can be used for everything! It was easy to navigate around, Seoomoz.org is a great source to get started with.. The fun stuff, health and travel were especially appealing to me.

Beginning to lose focus. The Google and open office will be useful to students that do not have tools on there personal computer. This being free is wonderful for our student demographic.

This would be great for as a research tool. In myo own ssearch for information going through numerouse websites and duplicting many efforts. Able to add one to my rollyo. After opening so many new accounts on various sites finding them will be a problem for a novice like me.

thing 16

This one was not as confusing. Wiki looks like fun and useful. The sandbox has been frustrating, kept freezing.

thing 15

This was informative information about the libraries of the future. The reading on the harnessing of collective intelligencies and WorldCat was interesting. Expanding of libraries reach and resources will be a wonderful resource for students if they are able to tap into worldwide resources. I think librarians will have a hugh responsibility to make sure that students use critical thinking skills and not just believe what is put out on a website. This also applies to teachers needing to always consider the source.

This was very helpful for me. With the political season going full force it will be interesting to read blogs from supporters of the canadidates. Can be used in local politics as well. Must be careful to check sources of blog and comments. The commandments reinforce the concept of simply courtesy in conversations even though they are electronic.

thing 10

Having difficulty in posting info. for this task. Have image on desktop but can't get to blog page.

The method that was the easiest was Blogline. I found the search toll technocrat to be the easiest to get around. These can be some useful feeds but could become very time consuming.

I like being able to pull market news quickly--it will be useful in keeping up with current statistics in economics. The Google reader will be useful personally as well.

Since I'm clueless the calendar will be very helpful to keep track of my activities and responsibilities personally and professionally.

This will be a useful tool in the market project if students can load advertisements to blog page.
