I was sidetracked from this course for about a week because I had to make a small presentation to the secondary library staff in my district. I gave a 'book report' on Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for the Classrooms by Will Richardson. I created a new blog as a means to convey the information to the group.
When I set up the blog, I created a new avatar on Yahoo - Let's just say there are still some bugs in Yahoo's site...After many false starts I figured out how to save the new avatar and upload it to my newly created blog. In the process, I found I can only have one avatar. The one I created for this blog was replaced by the new one. Lots of time spent on a frivolous activity!
The book I read was all about Web 2.0 and thus related directly to what we are learning in this class. I highly recommend it. Take a look at my blog for information on many of the Web Tools presented in the book.
