WOW. What a journey. I have learned so much and have stepped out of my technologically impaired box. I still have a lot to learn but I now am not afraid of trying something new. I will continue to sort through my web sites and save them into del.icio.us in a very organized way. That will take awhile but I can't wait to get started. I will keep using the podcasts I discovered and venture out looking for more.
Thank you, Ron, for your instruction and guidance along the way. It has been a fun learning experience.

del.icio.us.com/dschaible3 I love del.icio.us I have so many web sites that I now am going to organize into my delicious account. What a time saver and I will actually use it. So many times I have just found a new sight because it was easier than going through all of my unorganized files. It is great to be able to share with others and use some things others have found. This will be a great time saver at work and a big help.

U-tube. As I searched through u-tube, check out Ted, teacher tube, and school tube I did find some videos that would be useful in the classroom. Most of the ones I found would be good lead ins to a subject area. If I were a Phys ed teacher, I found a great video about a college age girl who was a double amputee and she went to the track coach at Georgetown University and talked him into letting her tryout for the track team. It turned out to be a great learning experience for both of them. This could be a great motivational video for running or even for any disabled atheletes.
I did see a problem with too many non usable videos. The best way to deal with that would be to book mark good ones as you find them. I do no that our school does block most u-tube videos however I have been able to open some.

Twitter. I find that Twitter is not really an option for me. I do not have any type of cell phone so Twitter would have to be done on my home or school computer. I do not have time during the school year. It would take more time for me to turn on my computer in the morning and go into my twitter account just to hear a little about what someone is doing. If I need to know about my family or friends that bad I can just call them on the phone. Once I get to work I can talk to whoever I need to talk with. Any messages sent to me throughout the day are through email and to me that is good enough. If our principal wants all of us to know something she just sends an email out to the entire school. If I did have a cell phone with internet capabilities I would not be able to have it on while I am working any way.
