I registered my blog with clustermaps. It was easy to register and post the maps on my site. Although it would be interesting to see who visits your blog from around the world I agree that, aside from providing some familiarity with geography, there is little educational value for students. Site Meter [...]

SlideShare Assignment
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged family, idaho, illinois, san diego, vacation, wheelerweb2 on December 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I posted my slide share without audio and kind of like the presentation with just text for the view to ponder. Sometime, just a few words can speak volumes and allow the reader to wander farther than the spoken word will allow….but not always. I liked doing this PowerPoint without having any narration; [...]

I followed some of the links to the old TV series posted by Shawn. I used to be a big fan of Magnum PI and Miami Vice, so it was fun to watch the opening of the programs again. I found an episode of Alfred Hitchcock presents since this was also one of [...]
Bubble Guru Assignment

Bubble Guru really looks like a great tool to have on a website. Unfortunately, for me, the cost would prevent me from using this. If a less expensive option were available, I would enjoy trying it on my web blog. I think one advantage video has over audio is that it is [...]

Flickr Assignment

I created my account with Flickr and was chagrined that I had to first sign up with yahoo before I could create the account. It was no big deal, just another step to take. Once the account was set up it was easy to navigate through the process of uploading photos. I found that it [...]
Wiki Webpages Assignment

I don’t have a classroom to be able to say how I would use a Wiki. However, if I had a classroom, I can perceive many possibilities. For example, in a History class, topics could be explored in way that would make collaborative learning much more efficient. It would be a great way to deal [...]
