Ok, so other things got in the way. I just read Jen Dooley’s blog and wow did she do a great job with this program.
I took notes from her blog with the idea to post a list of websites people discovered in their travels.
I couldn’t help but get excited about her enthusiasm. From her blog:
“I did a Google search for flickr mashups and found this cool site that constantly updates all the new mashups found using Flickr.

“My favorite so far turned out to be Bubblr, which lets you create comic strips by adding text bubbles to your (or anyone else’s) Flickr photos and create a strip which you can then save and let people view.

“www.gizmodo.com. That was one I added to my del.icio.us list! What a cool site with all the cool gadgets, latest tech updates, and all blog news tech that you could ever want to read about-I love it and I turned my husband on to it too–I know what he will be bookmarking at work-ha-bookmarking-that’s soooo yesterday
I am going to need to teach him about del.icio.us, too!!!
“Secondly, my 12 year old spent the Spring semester “wiki-ing” (is that the verb version we should be using, much like “blogging”?) with his classmates about what they were all reading in class and for pleasure. I loved that-it is a great example of “going to kids and finding them where they are”! Using the computer to get them to talk about books—brilliant!!!
Thanks Jen.
