Day Two Afternoon
I didn't get as much time to play today as I would have liked. The bad part about being physically in the office is that people still expect you to be working!! I did enjoy learning about Flickr and I set up my account. I really enjoyed the part about FlickrStorm and the ability to pull photos into a "walled garden". I'm going to play tonight with the different image generators and the Web 2.0 Award Winners. The ability to find royalty-free images will be great for Desktop Publishing classes. They are constantly on the search for images to use in class, and Flickr will be a great resource that I can't wait to share with them. I do not think they were aware that we, as teachers, could access Flickr. I can't wait to read everyone else's responses to how they are going to use these tools in the classroom.
Extra Credit
So since my iGoogle was messed up I couldn't access my RSS to tell you the link of the Extra Credit site, but I got it back and now that is an active link for you!
Morning, Day Two
So this morning we spent some time exploring RSS feeds. I was excited to get some time to explore other RSS feeds that might be of interest beyond the normal "news and weather". I found a great one called "Extra Credit" that is all about education in Texas. I'm sad because I was using Google as my aggregator and somehow I have done something to mess up my iGoogle page so everything isn't displaying correctly. I know it will get fixed with a simple restart, but I wanted to make my blog post first. I love how everyone is so actively engaged in our class! You could hear a pin drop!

Afternoon, Day One
I can now see how you can get addicted to tagging! After creating my delicious account, it was quite easy to get lost in simply tagging the bookmarks I had already created!! Here's a website I had completely forgotten about but is great!
Morning, Day One
Today is the first day of Web 2.0 camp. We've all just created our first blogs and now we are going to practice blogging! My goal for this week is to learn all I can about the different aspects of Web 2.0. It's a phrase that is used constantly in our profession and I would like to be able to know as much as I can to better address questions that teachers bring to me.
