Calendar
Picasa Album
I found using these tools to be simple. I use a calendar a lot but I do not think I could get use to using one online. I would rather just use my paper one. The calendar could be used in the classroom for students to keep up with their assignments and try to stay on top of them!

Thing Number 11
I found Google's search tool to be the easiest for finding feeds because all you had to do was put in the search bar on the main page what you were looking for and up it popped! Blogline's was the hardest for me to find feeds. I would search and had a hard time pulling up anything of interest. There are lots of useful feeds, but I found the feeds related to my area the most interesting. I found feeds that automatically popped up for Nashville, TN. This was neat, I could see what was going on near me that I may not have known about.
Thing Number 10
I like RSS and newsreaders because its saves me valuable time that I really do not have and it is easy and fun to do! From now on, my sites are going to come to me! I like the sound of that! I could use this is my personal life to find out about blogs related to teaching. If there is anything new that occurs, I will know! I could use this in school to link to my students blogs that I asked for them to set up in class, this way they can talk to me about anything they want!
Teachers can use RSS to communicate with each other through blogging. They can also use it to connect to anything informative that has to do with teaching.

Thing Number 9
The FotoTrix generator could be used on Mother's and Father's Day to allow kids to frame pictures of themselves or their families and give to their parent.
Thing Number 8
Flickr could be used in my classroom when I am discussing a topica nd have the children find a picture realtive to that topic. There are so many different pictures they could all come in with a different one! I love sharing photos online! I have several friends all over the country and this is how we let each other see how our families grow!!
Thing Number 7
It was not hard at all to find images. In fact, it was quite fun! Flickr is great! So many great pictures and some that make you go, "ummm..."!!! It was hard choosing a picture, but I decided on one. the author is Josh Hunter and it is a picture of Union Station in Nashville. I decided to stay close to home on my picture and this is close to home and an oustanding picture!!Thing Number 6

I viewed this site. It was great! I, of course, am a mom and found it insightful! It had all kinds of information and things to participate in. You could blog, ask questions, view what others had wrote and the responses they recieved, there were activities, recipes and even classifieds! It could be useful for parents of special needs children and any child! This could be used for mothers of the students in your classroom. You could set up a group just for them and they could communicate back and forth with each other and with you, the teacher. It would not be helpful for students.
