Thing 10


Oh, the possibilities. I can see having so much fun with these image generators. I created the poster on the left with Image Chef. The link is http://www.imagechef.com/.
The image on the right was created with Comic Strip Generator.
I will have fun sharing these ideas with my students to use in their class work or for their personal use.

Thing 9

Well, I'm overwhelmed with all the RSS feeds- so much wonderful information, but too little time to read them all. I did find some fantastic feeds from outstanding librarians and I'm looking forward to surrounding myself with their knowledge. I'm sure I'll learn to skim and look for the information I need, but right now I'm exhausted.

Thing 8

I've been hearing about RSS feeds and now I know what all the excitement is about. I subscribed to 5 library blogs- Librarian Philosopher, Top Shelf, 2 Cents Worth, Kathy Schrock's KoffeeKlatch, and Joyce Valenza's NeverEndingStuff. I'm looking forward to keeping current on the items that are noteworthy to them.

I am a new library coordinator and these library feeds will keep me current on new issues and new technologies. I, in turn, can share them with my librarians through my public page.

I can see the value of RSS feeds in the library, by linking our library resources directly to our students' and/or teachers' web pages.
