Thing 7b- Thor?
My reader had a very interesting article posted about Jessica Biel and a future role in the movie Thor. She would have a role as a love interest of the super hero. I have absolutely no idea who Thor is or if he even had a love interest. However, I have been a Jessica Biel fan since the early years of Seventh Heaven. That was when television was wholesome and taught a lesson. Boy do I miss those days! Biel's appearance in the film would be my sole reason to see it. It is amazing to witness actresses and actors grow as the become more experienced. I have definitely added the movie to my list of movies to watch.

Thing 7a ~ Now That's a Twitt
I received an article in my reader about Twitter. I have heard about it , but never took the time to investigate further. The article is very informative. It tells you exactly what twitter is, how to post comments effectively and even has several links to help you get started. I definitely see Twitter as another site that I could lose many valuable hours of time exploring. If I learn something new during the process, then it might not be so bad.

Thing 12 Slideshow
Creating a slide show is a great way to give viewers a glance at specific event without having to type a word. The fact that you can add music to the show is great. It gives each show a more personal feel. The music is like a trademark. Slideshows can be used in class to show the progress of a project. The students can add pictures that tell the story from beginning to end. Students can use slideshows for personal pictures as well.

Thing 11 Flickr
A lot of my friend ue Flickr to store their pictures. I personally haven't used it ...yet. It has been added to my long list of new resources to tap into. I enjoyed the ease of using flickr. I think most elementary students could use it and I'm sure my high school students could use flickr withtheir eyes closed and one hand tied behind thier backs there was a wid array of pic on transvers wave to choose from , but Ilike this one by qwetry gauri the most.

Thing 9 - Wiki What?
Wiki-Wiki. This was definitely the most challenging of the "Things for me. I had to exhaust all resources in an attempt to complete it. However, it was still fun. I liked the way each step had a purpose and you seemed to be building to a final goal. My wiki isn't very appealing to the eye to day, but visit in a few weeks, month, or years even. It maygrow to be a great work.
Thing 22 - Social Networking Facebook
Facebook allows us to take a sneak peak into the live of our students. It allows us to see who they are as individuals outside of the classroom. We can find out about interests they may have at home that are not a part of their school lives. Facebook is also a tool we can use to communicate with students about classwork. It allows them to get to know us with limitations. Check my page out. They are able to feel a more personal connection via social networking than they may at school. One concern that I have about the Networking sites is the bullying that happens on them. Monitoring them is a serious issue.
Thing 7b- Reader Review
We are all entitled to our opinion. This person didn't really like The Night at the Museum. I personally enjoyed the movie. Maybe it's my inner child dying to come out. Really, it is probably the fact, that my son had so many questions about history after watching that I had to search the web to answer some of them. It was a fun movie and I am looking froward to the sequel. Check out the trailer.
