Thing #6


After looking at the Web 2.0 Awards list, I was surprised that I currently used so many of the sites.  I utilize Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari daily (at least one of them).  I use Google all the time.  My personal email is through Yahoo, and I like to buy textbooks off of Amazon.   I have searched YouTube.  It is amazing to me that the sheep brain dissection is on YouTube!  I am now a blogger on Blogger, and I check my Facebook page daily. 

The site that I chose to check out was ustream.  It is similar to YouTube.  I liked that it had an educator tab on this site.  Under the educator tab, it had postings from NASA and a video showing a lunar eclipse.  These types of videos would be interesting to show to a classroom.  Also, I like the idea of filming an experiment or dissection performed in class and posting it to this site.  It would be a great place for a student who happened to be absent to view the lesson or would be a great review tool for students.

So now that I have posted, I will sing to you my closing.

  1. I absolutely loved your "Web 2.0 Agenda" of all the sites you visit daily. It's amazing isn't it? What did we ever do before we had the world at our fingertips. That ustream sounds interesting because of the educator tab. I may just have to make a click on it and check it out! Adios, au revoir, auf weidersehn...

  2. Gracias Miss Keem! I will be using your foreign closings! Does auf weidersehn mean "good bye" in German? Have you lived there?
