Anything relating to technology???

That is a broad topic... I enjoy doing the activities included in PLAN's 23 things, and although I consider myself to be a pretty technologically savvy person, I am actually learning a lot.

As a former teacher, some of my favorite webistes are brainpop.com and unitedstreaming.com. These sites provide videos that can be used as a part of a lesson plan. There are literally thousands of videos available that make learning more fun.

Another website I like is atomiclearning.com. It provides short, managable tutorials about hundreds of different software programs. It requires a subscription but is really helpful in learning new software.

Mappr, etc...

I was disappointed by Mappr because it only included US locations. Hopefully at some point, it will be expanded to include all countries.

The color picker mashup was pretty impressive though. I can see how that could be really useful to people in graphic design jobs/etc.

I really liked the poster maker feature at Big Huge Labs. I could have a lot of fun with that, especially in a teaching environment.

This is not me... but since we share the same name, and her picture came up when I searched for myself, I thought this would be as good a picture as any to add to my blog.

I think this is a really cool feature of flickr that I was not aware of. I have had blogs in the past to share pictures with my family, but went to designing my own website because it took too long to upload the pictures. This was surprisingly fast and easy. Now I will have to try adding some pictures that I have taken...
