I found wikis to be a fabulous tool for teaching young ones to get excited about technology. For the 6th grade students, especially, they loved how I played up the "easy as a peanut butter sandwich" slogan of the pbwiki site. That one, http://www.pb…
What a fun tip . . . I've always used Mapquest, so it was great to learn about all the ways Google Maps can be used, beyond just the addictively-fun zooming in on a spot feature :-)
Since I have a Gmail account I decided to set up a Google calendar . . . brilliant! I love how Mac-friendly this calendar is, such as the ability to drag an event if I put it on the wrong date [rather than having to erase and retype]
I feel ten time…
Cool--here's my question for you:
What famous individual in Native American history became the first president of the Cherokee nation?
Bonus question: In what year did this occur?
Aw man! I was waiting, after giving up to give the kids the use of the computer for Schoolhouse Rock, to continue my search for question #3. But now that I have time to resume the search, it's been found!
Can I just play with the database for fun no…
Thank you so much Jodie, Courtney, Maria, Sue, Genny, Jacob, and Susan--y'all are the greatest :-)
How brilliant! This is such an obvious addition to internet life, but it never occurred to me to try to see if it was an option . . . As I have a Google account and blog already, I just used iGoogle to start a bookmarking site. I have been without m…
I can totally understand how libraries could make good use of twitter; but only because of my current employment . . . before working here, I thought of twitter as unprofessional, but here it is a part of my "job description" for a Bed & Breakfast.…
Hi Folks!
I love the way technology has opened up a whole new realm of opportunities for us all. Take, for instance, my current job. The "application" was an email I sent after a Google search. And my work involves largely daily maintenance of the w…
I'd heard of Goodreads before but had never signed up. Now that I have, I've discovered how many of my friends are already in it . . . I think I will have to echo the lament of lost productivity now :-)
I too am a fan of Intl Digital Children's Libr…
This is a very interesting thread, as I have been transitioning from mixed tapes to cd's to mp3's over the years, and have found an odd effect. As a musician, I've always been passionate about music. I don't know if it's more related to age or to te…
I didn't know about the Primary Sources resource we had . . . fascinating to find some original documents from the Civil Rights movement, like this one:
Title: Suffragettes and Suffragettism
Author : A. A. Lyon
Date Created: 1915-09
Abstract: Writte…
I LOVE audio books . . . and it is no question as to "replacing" physical books: audio books are designed for road trips, of course :-)
So just because I used to promote TEL to my school library students, apparently doesn't mean I have had enough of it :-) I just spend ages learning about the local food movement, as it has been a recent interest of mine. . . and thanks to the sugges…

- I love your Icarus photo. I remember it from my visits to Chattanooga, which reminds of the fictional Newford of the Charles de Lint series.
