Thing 5

Google Reader would be a great tool to share a specific website or tool with your co teachers. This could help connect a friend or co teacher with a specific website that they might need or benefit from (this could include articles or pictures). This has been the case in the past when a specific grade level district wide needed access to specific info. This could also a great tool for a high school class to follow each other and post daily or weekly and not have to search for a specific person.

Thing 4 blogging

Blogging is a great way to communicate through a network of friends, classmates or associates. I recently completed my online masters degree through ASU. It was intense, but the great thing about the online program was the blogging that was done between the classmates. I had students in class with me weekly from many different states and we all became better acquainted before the online classes were over.

Thing 3 widgets

I finally figured this widget thing out. I chose to add a calendar. This is great information for myself and others who visit my blog.
