Thing 8

I totally learned something new today. I never knew that everything I write is automatically copyrighted. No one can use "my stuff" without my permission! That's cool. I feel so important! But what if I want to share my ideas with people? What if I don't mind if another teacher uses my "stuff"? Well that's where Creative Commons comes in. If a teacher is visiting my blog or wiki and he/she notices my cc logo, they will know that anything I have they can use to share, reuse, or redesign. That's what this new age technology is all about...COLLABORATION!

Thing 5

My reader is full of great stuff and I have only subscribed to a handful of blogs and wikis. Some people are great about adding to their site and sharing great ideas. Time unfortunately does not always allow for me to read and explore the way I would like. I have made my own wiki space if anyone is interested in looking at it. Remember it is a work in progress and I try to add new things as often as I can. My students and parents have really enjoyed it. I still have not attempted video or voice threads but that is my next big goal. I get a ton of ideas from my reader. Here are a few sites I like. My class is the first one. Take a look!
