Thing #23
Through 23 things, I have been exposed to many new types of technology that will apply to me in my teaching and library careers. My favorite finds were Google Reader,Voki, RollyO, and Zoho. I wish that there was a second step to this program that I could pursue independently. It is a great way to stay in touch with new technologies that are available to librarians and educators. I have shared the course with many friends and family, and hope that they find the things as useful as I have.
Thing 22 Audio Books
I found http://worldebookfair.org a bit hard to navigate, but a great resource for libraries and teachers. Being able to find FREE books online, opens a whole new world of resources.
I wanted to share another site that I use often in my classroom http://storylineonline.net/ My students look being able to hear books read by actors, and it gets them extra excited about what they are reading.

Thing #21 Podcasts
I love podcasts! I spend many hours of my life in a car driving, and so podcasts are a great way for me to spend my time. I love being able to find podcasts based on my current interests, and being able to get that information on my "free" time.
I found some podcasts that I haven't listened to before. They are SMARTBoard Lessons Podcast. This is perfect for me as an educator, because they talk about many of the resources I have in my classroom: smartboards, clickers, computers, etc.
It was very easy to place this podcast into Google Reader.

Thing #20 You Tube
You Tube is a resource that can be used for various purpose included how to do certain activities, catching up on current news and issues, and of course, for entertainment purposes. I tried searching for Conan the Librarian, and then found myself distracted watching Weird Al videos.
I posted an episode of Mr. Bean, as he goes to the library. :) It seemed appropriate for the class.

Thing #19 Library Thing
Library Thing is a nice place to get information on books that you like, or are concidering reading. It has reviews, shows popular books, and can give you valuable information on the books you are interested in purchasing or reading. It also provides a nice list of recommended books based on the books you are looking at.

Webquest
https://exchange.ccboe.com/exchange/sgobe/Inbox/No%20Subject-2055.EML/ancient%20greece.htm/C58EA28C-18C0-4a97-9AF2-036E93DDAFB3/ancient%20greece.htm?attach=1
I worked with a social studies 6th grade teacher in order to create my webquest. It focuses on Ancient Greece, and helps students to come to their own conclusions about the similarities and differences between Athens and Sparta.
