This summer I used MapQuest to help plot my course from Maryville, TN to Holden Beach, NC where I was meeting my sister's family for vacation. Thinking of some of the directions it gave me that seemed a bit out of the way, I went to Google Maps an...
I was reading through the postings on LMNet today and someone had put this link in there for the top 15 recommended web apps for students and faculty. I thought it might be fun to look over and see how many we have already discovered here on TennS...
I was leaving work Wednesday in a bit of a fluster because our principal came over the intercom to announce that schools would be closed Thursday and Friday due to illness. I was trying to close the library down, water the plants, etc. Then I real...
I also visited Unclutterer and was pleased to find out that I am already doing all the things recommended in the article "10 tips to beat clutter in less than five minutes Gretchen Rubin of the Happiness Project provides great ideas for quick clut...
I tried out Remember the Milk and enjoyed playing with the features. I like that you can set up tasks under separate headings like Personal or Work, but you can also click All and have the whole list displayed with everything merged from the small...
Used advance search and listed Dolly and Elvis as keywords - it pulled up the article from ADWEEK Online talking about the commercial and how it was digitally pieced together.

Since I never get to "sit in" while the teachers have their grade level planning - it's great to find a way to collaborate after the fact. And being able to get to documents if I'm at a meeting in another school would also be super handy.
Finally had a chance to sign up on GoogleLabs and tried out Google Docs. I took a file of project ideas for grades 3 -5 that someone had posted on LMNet and went through it, editing and tightening it up a bit. Now I can send it to the 3 - 5 teache...
I'm with you on the K-5 crowd. All these things like FaceBook and Twitter are blocked at school, and I'm not sure how many kids have parents who let them use those at home. My sister just let my niece have a FaceBook page this year - but she's 13 ...
Okay - my life has been completely out of control for the past two weeks, so I keep "meaning to" post this and then forgetting again by the time I get to a computer.
I've seen the ad twice now at the theater for the Breyers ice cream where Jane K...
Now aren't you the clever one? I know that presenters that come to our school are excited just to be able to finally have wireless internet access. Since they have that, using a bookmarking account as you suggested would be so streamlined! I'm tel...
I had also heard of delicious, but never tried it. I just kept setting up "favorites" on my computers at home and at work - then getting frustrated because the one I was thinking of was on the other computer. It was really easy to import all my ho...
Christi suggested I post something about LMNet here for those that haven't heard of it. Here's the URL http://lmnet.wordpress.com/. It's a great discussion list for library media people. You can get in on discussions about IT, book reviews, school...
Whoa! I signed up on FaceBook since my nieces have been nagging me about it. Suddenly I had all these recommended friends because of the info on my high school I included in my profile. Then when I contacted those friends, I got more suggestions.....
Since you said that you were planning to take over the world in the Web 2.0 discussion, I think I better friend you now while you are still in the planning stages :)
