Playing with the web 2.0 tools
10 07 2008I thought that maybe it will be cool to go paste my e/merge “connected teacher toolkit” ramblings here as well to get some insights from “outside” as well
So just respond to how you use your web 2.0 tools (today and everyday). I will kick off…
- Through twitter I learnt about a teacher in Guguleto who has just created his first blog and went to encourage him with a posting
- Threw sheep at my kids at home with Facebook (Just to show them I love them even though I am never home) as well as some of the mergers already on my Facebook (to see if they take thebiat and if I can distract them away from reading and commenting on all the papers here……mmmmm)
- Tagged a few resources that I have picked up here in e/merge with emerge2008
- Made a tagcrowd of the discussion in the “connected teacher” thread
- Loading video links onto our facebook group for this afternoon’s workshop
Am I the only one who play with the tools, or are you all to busy reading papers and commenting?
Or do you use the tools so seamlessly that you do not even know you are using it?
I heard yesterday afternoon how Howard incorporate the tools into his teaching class- inspirational
Are busy loading RSS feeds onto my Netvibes Universe. We will learn more about Netvibes from Bronwyn today. I use to use igoogle, but I must confess, netvibes is much easier to use and it has a public page that is easy capeasy to set up. Tony says it uses a lot of bandwidth, but I am not really noticing a slowdown here….?????
Seeing that we have been twitteriing, I have done a tweetscan for the word “emerge2008″ to add as an RSS feed to my Netvibes universe. Tweetscan is like a search engine for tweets. I also follow the tag “web 2.0″ and “education” through tweetscan and have chosen to receive it via e-mail (a dumb thing to do actually as my e-mailbox is in desperation mode-I think I should read it through my rss feeds on netvbibes rather)
Maybe I should go and get a real live Feed (breakfast)?
