This was fun. I got my daughter to join me for a bit of Tic Tac Toe.  We did it in a few minutes and had fun doing it.  She is hooked on it now.  Sorry about the quality of the pic.


Thing 15 rss rmorgan

To me a RSS is your personal information pipeline that you custom tune for all your individual interests that come to your computer instead you going to their sites when looking for specific information.

Thing 14 Be a reader of blogs rmorgan

http://www.astronomycast.com/

This was the most organized page I think I have ever seen on a blog.  I love astonomy and this looked like a proffesional site made by NASA.  Had some wonderful links and had very high educational value to this blog and website.  The opening page alone was impressive.

Thing 9 talk about blog with students

The blog I listened to was a complete series about how to pick your ultimate job that you would be happy with the rest of your life.  This would be a good motivational series for students who are both getting ready for a career or about to embark on one.

Thing 3 Twitter.

I did a search on school testing and got a nice one back on using Ipads for testing media.  Had a few helpful links for Ipad software that can be used via networks or emails to send out test materials.

thing 13 mid mod reflection rmorgan

Never realized how much stuff is out there with little effort to find it.  This section is taking me longer than I ever expected but I have seen several sites that I will go back and visit.  I am making a log of things that look interesting and I could use for myself and other instructors that are quick, ready made, and easy to impliment.   Overall its been alot of work but have been pleasantly suprised with what I have found and started using myself and also what I have passed on to students who are using tools like video and pic production for projects at their other schools.  Some have used alot of the tools to create better web pages and presentations techniques to raise their levels of 21st century learning skills. 

Thing 12 find something new rmorgan
