Thing 14


I looked at some sites of "popular blogs". Having been caught up in the Olympic Games I decided to read some blogs on this subject. I found some really interesting things. I read about a girl from Africa participating with one leg - as well as people's thoughts about some of the current topics (the age of China's female gymnists, the 'bad luck' of the US track team, etc). Of course reading one blog will take you to other places and I wound up reading news about Obama's VP running mate, etc. There is sure alot out there. - I am going to include a picture of my daughter Jodi at the 'Bird Nest' at the Olympics (go girl).

Thing 13

I spent some time looking around Technorati, Library Thing & Del.icio.us - found myself reading a lot of interesting articles, but did not feel the need to set up my own account on any of these sites.

Thing 12

I did set up a 'ning' account (haven't used it yet).

I got really bogged down in the Rollyo assignment. I do have an account set up there also. I tried to get it up on my tool bar, but have been unsuccessful in that endeavor.

I need to move on...

Thing 11 - I really enjoyed playing this geography game. It was tricky and I was amazed at how far off I was. This would be a good game for 'older' students of social studies.

I also found a nice site to make books - but had trouble posting it on my blog.- I am off to discover more.

Thing 10


I have had a really busy summer - and am behind on all my assignments. I did get on and play around with all the images and added some pictures from my vacation to my blog, along with Tigger here to encourage me to finish this up.
