Flickr -
My fav blog has all of the photos on Flickr. http://flickr.com/photos/chezlarsson/tags/aqua/ I went to her "aqua" tag and found all photos form her blog that were tagged with that color. Cool.
If you need help organizing - check out the organizing tag. You'll find great ideas for organizing.

Thing #4

Blog set up! I actually have a blog already, highlighting family trips and photos. The nice thing about having a personal blog is that you can send the address to just friends and family. Having said that, we are very careful not to put our last name or much personal info on the blog in case a stranger were to gain access.
I do have a favorite blog I will share with you - it's from a super organized visual designer from Sweden http://chezlarsson.typepad.com/ Her blog is very informative - I love it.

Thing #3

Blog has been set up...

Thing #2

We were just talking about instilling the love of learning in our students and creating lifelong learners - this thing came at the perfect time. This class will help with #6.

Thing #1

I'm hoping I can delete all 23 things posts at the end of this class and use this blog for (professional) reading discussions.

Is there life after Twilight?

With teens reading and re-reading the Twilight series, is there "life" after they have finished?

The Twilight series has created a reading opportunity that we need to capitalize on. We've been working hard to suggest books to Twilight readers that will encourage their continued love of reading. The collective knowledge that permeates a building after so many students have read a book or series is exciting. Students can discuss plot and characters with their peers and with their teachers. It is the discussion about the literature that is exciting and we would like to continue that through other books.
