#16 del.icio.us

Filed under: Uncategorized — marrie at 7:54 am on Tuesday, June 17, 2008

Del.icio.us is ‘delicious’ - a great way to organize all the favourites from all my computers (2) & access these. It’s fantastic to network with others & see what they’ve found. However putting it onto my blog in the side page has been a trial - obviously I’m missing some important step - I will ask for assistance from my colleagues.

From Carole Bird’s website I found a great link to explain tags/categories in an Edulogger.

Here is my immediate family: David, Hannah, Paul, Joel, ‘the crew’ together (a few years ago now), my husband & myself. I thought this page needed a picture or two… :)

#14 google book search

Filed under: Uncategorized — marrie at 11:52 pm on Wednesday, June 4, 2008

I have a ‘book account’ in igoogle, see My Library where I have placed one of my favourite books.

This book search is fantastic for:

  • students wanting a book in their genre - to search at school/home
  • senior school students needing more information on their literature, & connects with other resources/links
  • teachers to see what’s available in their subject areas
  • connecting with the blog’s ‘library thing’

#12,13,15 google stuff

Filed under: Uncategorized — marrie at 11:05 pm on Monday, June 2, 2008

I have been exploring Google this week & in previous weeks. So far I’ve tried & managed:

Google Docs - tried to use ‘powerpoint’/presentation (I’ll need to down load smaller pictures &/or down size them in Picasa)

Google Maps - I found my house & school, & fiddled with the ‘buttons’

Google Calendar & other features on my already existing iGoogle page - e.g. weather, news (top stories), Bible verse of the day, puppy of the day, themes & other ’stuff’ (see the ‘add stuff’ option)

I use Picasa with my photos as a preference, not Flickr

I have a ‘blogger’ blog at http://tulip-marrie.blogspot.com/ called ‘tulip’
