I'M BACK

This is my entry since the end of January. Why you ask? I have been away for five weeks and haven't had a computer at my fingertips on a daily basis. I did get on the web at least once a week. Hey, I used del.ici.ous. When doing that discovery during Learning 2.0 I didn't see the need for delicious. Wrong!!!!! Before I left for my trip to bookmarked several game sites into delicious. Wow. When I got to my destination there were my favorite games. Thanks delicious.

Today I worked on the newest Learning 2.0 discovery. I looked at semoz, reddit, and digg. Very interesting. I will look at those sites again.

Wrapup

After attending the Learning 2.0 wrapup, I returned to my computer with some real uses for what I had experienced over the months of discoveries. I tried locating a book on LibraryThing using a tag. It works. What a great discovery. I also revisited YouTube with the idea of using it to learn something rather than be entertained by people's videos. I looked up several topics students might be researching for school projects. I found several useful videos on Martin Luther King and the Grand Canyon, just a couple topics I investigated. I keep learning.
