Al-kurdi lego photos
Originally uploaded by Edgewood2008
6th grade students share photos in a school photo gallery 3 times a year. The theme of this gallery was Robotics. Students took photos of the legos used in their robotics unit and manipulated the photos in Photoshop.

I loaded a few of their photos in my flickr account and "blogged" this one.

Thing #3 RSS

Ok I subscribed to a few blogs using Bloglines. But then it seemed Google Reader might be better since I was already doing so much with google. I added some of the I believe compositions from NPR. I also added sitemeter to my blog.

Thing #2 Web 2.0 - Why care?

I am already feeling relieved a bit from the Web 2.0 frantic -ness. Just knowing that others are struggling with the "how to fit it in"and "what impact will it have" questions makes it seem more manageable and exciting. We are planning to create and write a program for a Web 2.0 classroom as a big experiment - a playground for trying out web 2.0 apps. I'm excited and hope to get more comfortable with some of the newer 2.0 ideas by participating in 23 things.

Thing #1 - blog

I'm going along for the ride with the 23 things on a stick. Missed the registration deadline, but have done some of this and will play on my own. What a great forum for playing!! I have a blog with edublog, but am trying out e blogger for this project.
