Thing #2 - Wordle/Glogster/Voki/Bookr

Wordle - I think this is a great tool for introducing a subject like this one .. Library Genres
I could also see uses as a precurser to creating a game or helping students focus in on main ideas or to set their own main ideas from a reading.
Glogster - this looks like the solution to my hatred of glue sticks in the Library! This is very exciting. I can see some differences from a typical poster on paper assignment & this one. Registering the students & getting them all logins is one dilemma .. but once that is accomplished then other than a slight change in a visual on the computer vs. a visual poster sized .. I think it is an awesome tool. Looks to me that this tool should allow creativity & not skimp on content.
Voki - now I had to go & figure out my password. I've always LOVED this tool .. & this made me revisit it .. & create one for this blog which I hope to turn into one for our student library patrons in the fall.

Get a Voki now!


BookR - Wow .. I like this! Could be used instead of PPT, photostory, etc..
I know my reading specialists are going to go crazy. They like to have students create newsletters, etc & this is so much better.

I was all set yesterday to work on my Things, but got very caught up in changing the background. I used cutestblogontheblock.com to find a background. You click on free backgrounds, then scroll down to see the backgrounds. After you click on one of the backgrounds copy the code from that pages, and then apply it to your blog. I hope that made sense.... It only took me about 4 hours to get it changed (and work correctly)!
