Image Editor</span> - This is similary to Photoshop, it used layers and many other editing tools.&nbsp; It also have very good tutorials that walk you through a project.&nbsp; I may finally understand layers. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Of the 6 applications this one is the easiest to use.</span><br /><span style="background-color: magenta; font-size: large;">2. Image Markup</span> - Use&nbsp;Falcon and Talon to quickly capture images and web pages from your browser and crop, resize or mark them up. I tried using Falcon with Internet Explorer and it would not work.&nbsp; I did not try with Firefox, but I am sure it will work with Firefox.<br /><span style="background-color: magenta; font-size: large;">3. Effects Ediors</span> - This is definate an advanced application, but I bet some of the high school students that like to work with graphics would love it.<br />4. Myna - audio remixer - Use Myna to remix music tracks and audio clips. Apply sound effects and record your own voice or instruments!<br /><span style="background-color: magenta; font-size: large;">5. Vector Editor</span> - Another more advanced tool -Use Raven to create fully scalable vector art appropriate for logos or tee shirt designs. <br /><span style="background-color: magenta; font-size: large;">6. Swatch Editor</span> - Used alone or in conjunction with our other creation tools, Toucan gives you the features you need to inject color into your creative process.&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="background-color: lime;">This is something I will use if I need an html color code</span>.&nbsp; I can't do html, but I can find a color and put a new code in its place.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-55278122809608428252009-09-19T08:21:00.001-07:002009-09-19T08:51:13.547-07:00New Web Toys<a href="http://www.freeflashtoys.com/">Free Flash Toys</a> is a great site it gives you a big variety of web toys to add to you page.

Many times I did fall behind on my posting and have to play catch up. But there are some tools that I know I will use right away. I shared <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wordle</span> with my school secretary and she has created a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wordle</span> about each one of the staff members as a welcome back treat. I will use the photo <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">imageing</span> sites all through the year in the library, on my Wiki and website. I am using a Hollywood theme in the library this year and will be making movie posters of top readers.<br /><br />There are also a few tools that surprised me, I didn't think I would have any use for Google Reader, but some of the websites that feed in are great and I have added many blogs that I like to follow. The reader makes it so much easier.<br /><br />I have found Twitter to be a big <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">disappointment</span>, I guess I'm just not that interested in what everyone is doing at the moment. I also didn't really expect to enjoy blogging since I don't really like to write, but it has become very helpful and I have created a blog for our Outdoor Learning Enviroment.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-75351117887161953902009-08-14T21:47:00.000-07:002009-08-14T21:55:05.572-07:00Think 22: Developing my own "Things"This year I hope to provide my teachers with many opportunities to discover Web 2.0 applications. I will model the tools by using them with students in the library and as tools to promote the library and special events.<br /><br />But I am also going to send out 1 thing each month to my teachers and offer a mini workshop. I already have a Library Wiki and plan to expand it to offer much more. I also want to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">develop</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">and</span> continue this blog.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-24765403873262339822009-08-14T21:09:00.000-07:002009-08-14T21:42:54.075-07:00Think 21: PodcastsMy last post discussed YouTube with focuses on video this post will discuss Podcasts which audio files that use a web feed such as RSS, like blogs. Podcasts do not requrie and IPod You can listen to podcasts on your computer, mp3 player, or other audio devices.<br /><br />Teachers can use podcasts in many ways. Studens or teachers can make booktalks, record lessons, class instructions.<br /><br />The Education Podcast Network <a href="http://epnweb.org/">http://epnweb.org/</a> is a resource full of education related Podcasts.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page">Library Success Wiki </a>page has some great tools for "publishing" podcasts under its "How to Podcast" section.<br /><br />I have listened to "Twilight Series Theories" with is a podcasts by a teacher and her sister. It keeps me listening because:<br />Their personalities come through, they are having fun<br />They stay on task<br />The sound quality is very good<br />They have a format and I know what to expect.<br />They have a good length.<br /><br />I have listened to other Twilight Podcasts but they never hold my interest, in those podcasts many times they:<br /> get off topic<br />have sound problems<br />are unprepared which leaves gaps<br />go too long, you have to know when to stop.<br /><br />I would like to try podcasts as a way to promote library events - like a radio comerical. This would be a great way to get students involved. It is also a good way for students to publish writing. I want to see if a podcasts can be placed on our schools web site. I'm sure I can embed them in the library WikiTeresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-28051530205769819762009-08-14T20:44:00.000-07:002009-08-14T22:12:14.209-07:00Think 20: YouTube<a href="http://youtube.com/">YouTube</a> is a hot site. It is composed of user-submitted videos that can be no longer than 10 minutes long and 2 GB. YouTube uses Adobe Flash to play the videos.<br />Any and every kind of video can be found here from cute animals to how to videos or science lessons.<br />I first used it to see the funny and weird videos and thought of it as a place where teens spend hours watching others be silly. I then discovered that one of my favorite art instructions had several videos on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">YouTube</span>, I found his videos as well as several made by other people watching his demonstrations. It is now the first place I come to learn how to do anything including using a new kitchen appliance, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ActiveInspire</span>, how to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">crochet</span> flowers and much more.<br /><br />In the library I would love to make book trailers and technology how to videos. However with YouTube being blocked by the district I probably will not spend my time there. But I will continue to use it as a great resource at home.<br /><br />Looking though some library related videos I found that public libraries are making great use of YouTube.It is great free publicity. There are some videos that have great quality and have had some thought and editing put it. However just letting a camera run and then uploading it to YouTube doesn't always make for an interesting video. A video needs good light a quality, and good sound, a fuzzy picture with poor sound is just anoying.<br /><br />What I really love is some of the book trailers make by the fans, they are great and so creative. They really show the protential for student work. I also found a book trailer for The Graveyard narriated by the author Neil Gaiman. How cool is that!Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-45249717721476578762009-08-14T19:53:00.000-07:002009-08-14T22:14:34.099-07:00Think 19: Google Docs<a href="http://docs.google.com/">Google Docs</a> are much like Microsoft Office. It allows you to create documents, spreadsheets, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">slideshow</span> presentations. They are similar to Office, but offer freedom<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"> to collaborate</span>. They are made for online collaboration and storage.<br /><br />For example the Reading <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dep</span>. chair needs to gather information from each of her teachers into a common document. This would require each teacher to gather her date create a document and give it to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dep</span>. chair who would then reenter the data into a common document. She would then send out that document to the teachers to review and make corrections. They would then send the document back to the Dept. chair to make corrections. This process would repeat until all were satisfied requiring <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">a lot</span> of reworking and multiple copies.<br /><br />The magic of Google Docs is that you create a document invite others to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">collaborate</span>. You decide if they can view or edit the document. They can also insert notes.<br /><br />Google Docs. has unlimited value for both administrative purposes and instructional uses. I love the fact that you can access the document anywhere and that it can be exported as an Office doucment. I am going to do my best to get my teachers to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">create</span> an account so we can start <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">collaborating</span>.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-38642600439220928322009-07-21T20:48:00.000-07:002009-07-21T21:39:35.717-07:00Thing 18: WikisWikis are websites that use special software to allow users to create or edit web pages. They ususally have a table of contents, pages that lead to subpages. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Wikipedia </a>is the largest one, but there are many others.<br /><br />Over the last couple of years I have looked at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Wikipedia</a> and have gone to never using it to using it as a tool for basic information. It is also a great way to show students how the Internet has its own point of view and how web sites can developed.<br /><br />I went to a sample page set up for the North Texas 23 participants. It was very easy to add pages and pictures. The process is much like other web applications and there wasn't much of a learning curve.<br /><br />I would love to have some of our students create an entry in Wikipedia for our school. I think this would be a great experience for them.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-35585802915121783852009-07-21T20:39:00.000-07:002009-07-21T20:45:16.168-07:00Thing 17: LibWorm"LibWorm is a search engine for library-related RSS feeds. It tracks over 1,400 feeds a day, and provides methods for searching by keyword or phrase. It also allows browsing by subject, category, or tags."<br />Lib work is apparently down tonight. I'll keep checking back and let you know what I think.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-6978549295883829892009-07-21T20:29:00.000-07:002009-07-21T20:39:01.729-07:00Thing 16: LibraryThing<a href="http://www.librarything.com/">Library Thing</a> is a great took for those people who want to keep a good quality record of their personal library. It allows you to add tags (subject headings). I can see this a being a very helpful tool. Personally I don't think this is something I want to maintain.<br /><br />There are also many other features, many of which are social. If you want to chat with other readers this is a great place to start. I do like the recommendations tab. Here you will find recommendations based on the books in your catalog.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-48280932989166222192009-07-12T18:50:00.000-07:002009-07-12T18:58:36.385-07:00Thing 15 - Digg<a href="http://digg.com/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Digg</span></a> is a place for people to share information from anywhere on the web. These news items can be from a traditional news source like CNN or from an individuals blog. The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Digg</span> stores can then be voted on by the users and this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">determines</span> the news content that you will find on the web site. The more readers that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">digg</span> the site the faster it will rise to the top of the news list. And of course the readers can comment on the stores or add information about the story thus creating a very social web site.<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Digg</span> started out as a site focused on Technology and has since changed to include a great deal of general news items.<br /><br />I find <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Digg</span> to be a useful site if you are really into the latest news and want a source outside of the local paper or network news. It is also a great place to look for information new a breaking news.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-62734570688877955392009-07-12T18:07:00.000-07:002009-07-12T18:14:06.872-07:00Thing 14 - Delicious<a href="http://delicious.com/">Delicious</a> is a bookmarking site that allows you bookmark and tag your websites and access those websites from any computer. You can also share your <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">bookmarks</span> with others.<br /><br />Delicious is fairly simple to use, you have to set up an account, and import your bookmarks. You can then edit and add tags and put <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">tags</span> together into bundles. I do highly recommend cleaning out your book marks first, it is much easier in Explorer.<br /><br />The great thing about Delicious is that it allows you to share your book marks with others. You can gather a set of book marks and make them available to your students or teachers.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-53124530405011267322009-07-12T11:03:00.000-07:002009-07-12T18:07:36.572-07:00Thing 13 - TaggingThis Thing is a look at tagging. Tagging is a way of saving your websites, pictures blogs or anything else you find on the web and giving them your own catagories i.e. Tags. Tagging allows you to organize your date anyway you want with any connections you want. We already have this ability in Internet Exploer by saving a site and putting it in a folder. But that is limiting; you can only access those bookmarks from that computer, you can put a bookmark in more that one folder but that can get real messy. If you ever find yourself at work or at a friends house trying to find a web site you know you have book marked on your computer, then Tags are for you. <br /><br />I really do think tagging has a place in the library. If our patrons do use tagging in their online life, why disconnect them in the library. Any tags I create are for my personal use and will not interfer with anyone else. It is not different from creating specific bibliographies. Just easier and more personal.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-38743009528655431102009-06-19T19:56:00.000-07:002009-06-19T20:04:57.945-07:00Lone Star Books 2009 - 2010 on PhotoPeach<br /><a href="http://photopeach.com/home">PhotoPeach</a> is another great tool to show photos or book list.

But I have found that is has a place. I IM more often on Facebook. It is great to just say hello and drop a few words. But it is not for a real converstaion. I know that IM could be much more helpful at school.

It seems full of groups that are not active, or groups that are not much more that someone's blog. I spend alot of time searching and not finding anything of great interest. For groups to participate in I still like Yahoo groups.</div></div>Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-28345822049030941392009-06-14T14:16:00.000-07:002009-06-18T15:49:11.011-07:00Wonderful Site full of linksI was way off the path when I found this treasure. <a href="http://newtoolsworkshop.wikispaces.com/">New Tools Workshop</a> is a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wikki</span> full of links of Web 2.0 tools.

It started out as a way to keep in touch with the kids from my youth group. They are now in college and starting their own families and spreaking out across the country. My Facebook life grew, old freinds from HS found me, and many of my local friends are on the book. It has become a part of my life, it is a fun and easy way to keep in touch and share part of your life with others.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-45248117074013933212009-06-12T16:58:00.000-07:002009-06-12T17:00:10.724-07:00Blog ReaderOK, I went to set up my Blog Reader, apparently I had already done that and don't even remember. How scary is that? I can see it being helpful, but if I actually keep up with all these blogs I need to get a life.Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-48521831512746793382009-06-12T13:01:00.000-07:002009-06-12T13:19:59.120-07:00WordleI was showing a friend of mine some of the fun tools we were using to enhance photos when the conversation turned to <a href="http://www.wordle.net/">Wordle</a>. We had a lot of fun playing with the quick and easy way to make posters. One of the things I appreciate about Wordle is that they give you complete freedom to use the images on anything even items you are selling for a profit as long as you give them credit. <div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_I1YLLnDxI/SjK3FVzo08I/AAAAAAAAABo/Cpsfm2xcspw/s1600-h/Library+black+white.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346537010023158722" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_I1YLLnDxI/SjK3FVzo08I/AAAAAAAAABo/Cpsfm2xcspw/s200/Library+black+white.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_I1YLLnDxI/SjK3OcP2QVI/AAAAAAAAABw/f8EP77cXzAU/s1600-h/library+green.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346537166370914642" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_I1YLLnDxI/SjK3OcP2QVI/AAAAAAAAABw/f8EP77cXzAU/s200/library+green.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_I1YLLnDxI/SjK3WaZLmQI/AAAAAAAAAB4/6ZI76zslilM/s1600-h/library+random+blue.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346537303312144642" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_I1YLLnDxI/SjK3WaZLmQI/AAAAAAAAAB4/6ZI76zslilM/s200/library+random+blue.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I did these in a few minutes using the randomizer, but you do have the ability to select you own colors, background and fonts.</div><div>Some tips; You must have java loaded on the computer and have the firewall set to allow for java. There is more information in the FAQs. I have also found it very helpful to create the test in Word and copy and paste it into Wordle. This eliminates the frustration of loosing all your test if the Internet gets bumpy.<br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Teresa Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880044079013577948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264697947091494839.post-48336583159948782252009-06-11T20:06:00.000-07:002009-06-11T20:30:48.280-07:00Playing with widgets<a href="http://www.imagechef.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more" src="http://cdn-img1.imagechef.com/w/090611/anm66e3b9867376f68c.gif" /> </a>I wonder if these can be embedded in Powerpoint or in a Promethean flip chart?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imagechef.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more" src="http://cdn-img1.imagechef.com/w/090611/anmafab1806f8d00cd1.gif" /> </a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.imagechef.com/ic/make.jsp?tid=Walk+of+Fame+Animated" target="_blank"><img alt="Walk of Fame Animated custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more - ImageChef.com" src="http://cdn-img1.imagechef.com/w/090611/anma94f29f27428e579.gif" /> </a>One of my AR plans was to have a "Walk of fame" and some how incorportate the hand prints. But this makes me think about haveing a virtual "Walk of Fame" and they could get their name on a star and post it in the library Wiki. This would be easy for me, every few weeks I could sit down and update them all at once.
