Thing 13 still like google better

Zoho.has some good features. For example, the work calendar, time sheet, my meetings, and task. It offers  
a wiki and chat. I liked Google Docs better because of its spreadsheet and drawing features. Both have a document writing feature but Google Docs is better because it is easier to use with its create button. I like the share feature link instead of adding a user or chat. Google docs was easier for me to understand. Here is my share link for my Google docs XY Axis graph.

Thing 12 I luv Google

I know, I am probably the only one but I love Google more than the Iphone. I have been a fan of Google every since I got first smart phone. I could go to Google account put dates on my Google calendar and those dates would be on my phone calendar. It is awesome. I also love Google books. I had to a research paper in my sociology class and Google books came to the rescue. I just can not say enough about Google. It is easy and everything is in one place.

Thing 11 Finding something to blog about

I found google blog search to be the easiest and technorati to be the hardest. I like google reader search on feeds to be easiest. Topix.net was the most confusing because it is too much information all over the page. Useful feed for me was the exercising blog about belly fat. I always looking for different ways to exercise. The most unusual feed I found was on pitbull dogs and how that breed of dog is no longer ban. I did not find any other different ways to locate newsfeeds but the old way the search bar.

Thing 10 RSS

I like that the RSS can update me on the latest information. I like that I can get information faster. I could used this RSS in school with my blog or other student's blog. I could used this for what is the latest news that is going in our city and country. In my personal life, I would be kept inform on new ways on teaching, new subject matter, and new technology. A public page would be good to have because the students and parents of your classroom would be kept inform of new assigns and what is going at the school and around the city without having to wait on the school system website.

Thing 9 Generator

I did have fun with this post. These generators would be great to use in the classroom. I would have my students find a generator that they like and then solve a math problem. Then apply the answer to the generator of their choice. Of course this would be homework. This would peak their interest and also show how math is used in everyday life.

Thing 8 Apps are hard

This post was the hardest yet for me. I still do not know if I got it right.
This is My app.
Mashup is fun to used pictures to create educational games or lessons. There were a lot of interesting apps. This mashup would keep students' attention. The students would have to used a lot of their problem solving skills to build an app. Sharing photos online is fun.

Thing 7 Math pic


I really like this photo because it is about the two things I like to do the most, dance and math. I think some students do not like math because it is not fun to them. This photo makes math fun. I enjoyed exploring Flickr and looking at all the pictures. I did not like how difficult it was to copy the URL of the image to my post. I will use Flickr in my classroom as a research tool and to make math fun. This was my first time using a photo hosting service. Having photos in the public is good especially when using Flickr because you can make sure you get credit for your photos.
