Thing 8

Slideshare is an awesome tool that could be used by alot of students to share and publish their ppt's. I plan to share this cool tool with all of my staff and especially my students. We so much with powerpoint and struggle with sharing the powerpoint with parents and other students. This will help alot.

The picturetrail is going to come in handy for web publishing. Teachers are going to be able to use this on their web pages as well.

Thing 7

I personally have no problems with email and IMing in school. It is the school who has a problem with both. I do have email accounts for all of my 7th and 8th grade students and this is the only email they can use in school. It is used professionally and we do provide instruction on proper use. I can see instant messaging as being very powerful for troubleshooting and helping students with questions.

I have participated in many webinars and really like this educational tool. I really wish I could generate this from my desktop for my patrons and staff for instruction and staff development.

Maybe in the near future my staff will start to become on board with this.

I used the cool image tools for my principal's 40th birthday. My students like using these in their powerpoints and in some of their documents. Seeing that I manage the school website as well. Some of these cool images will be useful there as well.
