Thing 12

Library Thing is very interesting. I've often been approached about ways to create a home library. Here is the answer. I would imagine it also works for music and movies?

This could work for church libraries, personal libraries, etc. It may also be good to teach students about using an online catalog. They could all make an online catalog of their own. It may help them learn about fields, keyword searching, etc.

I like the idea that Quiltin' Library Lady had, of using Library Thing as a way for patrons to keep track of their own personal reading.

I've also used Good Reads and Shelfari, but this one does feel more like a catalog.

Thing 10

As you can see, I used Mag My Pic to create a cover page of my son. He recently earned his orange belt.

It's always fun to benefit from other's miscellany. I could really waste a lot of time fiddling with these image generators.

I plan to use some of these image generators as an activity for my Teen Tech Week participants. I plan to sign all attendees up with an account to my moderated school blog (which is through epals.com). Then they can create a mag or comic book page and send me a blog entry about it. Just like we're doing in NE Learns 2.0. This will give me a way to try out blogging without relying on it in a big, collaborative unit.
