Web 2.0 Challenge 4

I have now created a page for the Prowler Bands, and have signed the band up for Twitter as well. While I was creating my FB page, I noticed that you can link FB to Twitter, which means I don't have to go to both sites to post. Anything I post on my FB page will automatically go to Twitter. Score! I'm all about making things easier.

I was bragging to a student about my wonderful new "techy" skills, and that student went farther and created a group for the band as well...maybe this will catch on? That student, however, also informed me that Twitter is for "old people..." Hhhmm...we'll see.

I was addicted to FB way before this challenge, and I have a personal Twitter acct, but I don't post a whole lot. I enjoy reading what the celebraties are doing, though. :)

My question and plea for help is: how do you get the Twitter and FB buttons on our school webpage?? As long as we have the pages, we may as well link them somehow.

Web 2.0 Challenge 3

Ok...I now have my RSS feed in Google Reader and the Google Reader gadget thing on my igoogle page. I could see me becoming significantly less productive while playing around with this. I haven't played around with adding too many things to my Ready, so I can't say if I would use this in my teaching or not. I know many people swear by it, so we'll see!

Web 2.0 Challenge 2

I'm way ahead of the game on this! :)

I love igoogle. I have used it now for 3 years (I think....my mind sometimes goes), and I absolutely live by it. The first thing I did when I got my computer here at school was set up my new igoogle page. I know...I'm a bit of a dork...but if you don't get satisfaction out of the little things....what's left?

Maybe I'll wait another day to try Challenge 3.

Web 2.0 Challenge 1

Alrighty then....

I have now started a blog that I will *hopefully* get in the habit of using to benefit my students. I can see where this will be very useful, it's just going to be a matter of doing it!

I can see me using this mainly to post video clips of performances that I want my students to see. There is a wealth of information out there that can make our band the best ever (plus I want to see what the super-duper cool prizes are.....).
