Library Threads - Weaving a Web Through 2.0
Now that I've been reading Pam Berger and Sally Trexler's book, Choosing Web 2.0 Tools for Learning and Teaching in a Digital World, I've decided to resurrect my blog that I'd started as part of the PSLA "23 Things" exercise. I exported it to another email account and changed the blog URL, and in the process I lost my previous followers. You can find the blog at http://librarythreads.blogspot.com if you'd like to sign up to follow…

Share the Wealth (Session 6, Capstone 2)
Well as a culminating activity to my ISTE Capstone journey, I have to come up with a way to express all that I have learned in 3 to 5 minutes! UGH! I have never been to stay within a time limit. Anyways, I decided to try and use Prezi to highlight everything I’ve learned over the course of the last year about integrating technology into the curriculum, global citizenship, and the digital world.
