web-based apps

In looking at web-based apps, I turned my attention to spreadsheets. This type of app could be used to collaborate when on committees or I can see sports teams using this type of online app.

The above site has a comparison chart for the spreadsheets.

PB Wiki

My pbwiki is at http://suzlab.pbwiki.com
This seems like an alternative to using Blackboard.
Files were easy to upload.
I started a pbwiki to handle training files for NetOp School 5. Teachers and staff members could use these to discover some of the new features of NetOp School which controls our computers in several of our computer labs.

Zoho Writer

I created an account on ZoHo Writer and I tried to publish my document to my blog, but it did't seem to work. Perhaps I need to login to the blog first and then link to my document. I will try that next.

Wikis

Wikis: I seem to remember there was a lot of uproar not so long ago about how inaccurate Wikipedia was because anyone could post to it. We encouraged students not to use it!! I believe Wikipedia has become "moderated" so the information is more accurate. It leaves me to wonder about the accuracy of some of the other Wikis...

New Website to Try

I came across this website which looks a lot like our ning. It is called Classroom 2.0
I like some of the discussions located under the Forum Tab.
A link in one of the Forums has led me to a Teaching with Technology wiki which seems to have a lot of technical knowledge.

Other blogs

Here are the blogs from most of our class:

Open Culture

At our class last night I was delighted to hear about open culture. It looks like a wonderful way to find vodcasts, podcasts, and even language class podcasts!! This will come in handy when helping teachers find resources.

Rollyo

I used Rollyo (create your own search engine) a few years ago when I took a Power Library seminar. I recently revisited it and found lots of new resources! My rollyo search is aimed at doing Research.

Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/suzlab
This is my page on Library Thing. I haven't used it to catalog all my books, but I intend to do this when time allows.

Delicious

I have had a delicious account for awhile now, but really hadn't used it in a year or so.
It would be a great way to save all my bookmarks to access while on vacation or when out of reach of one of my computers.

Technorati

I recently joined Technorati to explore how useful it could be in finding blogs, information, etc.
It seems to work smoothly and locates tons of information.

Newspapers

I like RSS Feeds, however there is something to be said for reading a newspaper, so I have linked to some of my favorite newspapers using CRAYON (Create Your Own Newspaper). It is easy to use.
My newspaper is located at: http://www.crayon.net/read.cgi?suzlab@psdschools.org

Mr. Picasso Head

This website is fun and so easy to use!!
I created "my own Picasso" in minutes.

I hope everyone tries it.
