THING # 19 EXPLORE PODCASTS

Nice idea if all you want is to listen to or keep up on a certain subject , like sports, news, etc. Will PODCASTS take the place of radio stations? Estoy (I'm ) starting to feel like the person who saw her first car go speeding by at 30 mi. an hr. When was that ? Roughly 100 yrs. ago? Look at what we are up to now! WHOOOEEEE ! Pardon me, while I catch my breath... Doing 23 THINGS ON A STICK is really yanking me into the 21st Century ( it looks like everyone else is already there).

THING # 18 YouTubes & Other Sites

I didn't get THE WAVE I wanted, but I'm MUY FELIZ (very happy) that this one transferred to my blog.
It took a couple of ( OK, 4 or 5) trys. YouTubes are not my idea of how I would spend time on the internet. Entertainment value is there. There are sooooo many to look at! It could be a full time job just to watch . Anyway, putting a video on a blog sure adds some PIZZAZ to it ! I'm glad I got one on mine.

BIG WAVES

THING #17 ELM PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

If you are doing a research project, this could really help . I did a topic search on PROQUEST NEWSSTAND COMPLETE. http://www.proquest.com/
Came up with quite alot of information for my search. Lo siento ( sorry ), this entry is so brief.
ADIOS

THING # 16 STUDENT 2.0 TOOLS

I guess with all this technology, the SYLLABUS is now a thing of the past. I would have loved to use the RPC and the ASSIGNMENT CALCULATOR when I went to school. I like to be organized and have all my ducks in a row. The Assignment Calculator really would have been helpfull .
If THING 16 had been THING 3, 4 or even 5 I may have used it to do 23 THINGS. ADIOS

THING # 15 ONLINE GAMES IN LIBRARIES

My children would understand this. They grew up with VIDEO GAMES. As for me, I did try Packman a few times. And, I remember playing a game with my nephew once ( he was 7 then ). It was a motorcycle race. My hand/eye coordination didn't compare to his. He won of course.
So, after all these anos (years) I get a chance to redeem myself with PUZZLE PIRATES...Idid try, but, it seems to take a long time to "launch". After 10 min. of waiting I gave up. Tried again later and a note came up saying server was down for maintenance. Yo (I) will check it out at some later date.
SECOND LIFE...How interesting is that??? You can even "BUY LAND" here! Although there is a price tag , it could be a great learning tool for schools.

Thing # 13 & # 14 ONLINE PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

Now what do I do??? I just learned about Bookmarks and now Mystickies is telling me it's replacing Bookmarks!!! The new Stoneage is officially yesterday! This stuff is not going to wait for me to catch up. But, as fun as some of these 23 THINGS are, I'm sure it will only get more interesting
as the internet continues to grow and people continue to play with it . The new frontier isn't outerspace...it's Myspace...
I did the start page on iGoogle. Having a weather update right there is nice. In looking at all these different sites it gets to be a bother to have to sign in all the time at these different sites. Mas Tarde !
