Google map

Feels a bit like big brother watching over you. Great to be able to type addresses in and get directions on how to get somewhere. Really good for people that can't read a street directory.

Wikis

Useful thing to know about. Could use it to brainstorm for different projects, instead of emailing backwards and fowards to each other.

Discover Delicious

This is great. I don't know how many times I have been at computer that wasn't mine, trying to think of a web address. Very useful and something I will use a lot.

Social Networking

Yet again something that I'm interested in learning more about, just have to find the time to explore and play with it.

Explore Slide Share

Slide share is probably a good resource for teachers, I just don't think I would have much use for it. I don't make or use powerpoint presentation.

Investigate You Tube

This could be fun, going through all the different YouTube videos. I have lots of things I want to look at. It's just a matter of finding the time.

Information overload

Have had a day of information overload but really enjoying all the new things I have learnt. I can also see me using a lot of the tools I have learnt about so far. (eg. blogs and flickr). It has been a lot of fun.

Flickr

This is great, can not wait to start adding my photo's. Seem really user friendly well.

Subscribe to blogs

This is really good. I actually understand it. Can't wait to start searching blogs and subscribing to them. There goes my weekend.

Creat an RSS reader account

Never new something like this existed. Will be a very useful tool.

Blogs

I found this really great. Finally know what a blog is - heard the term for so long. Took me a couple of goes to get the idea. I will need some more practise with using it but am looking forward to playing around.

Extend your browser

Didn't quiet get this one. I think I understood it, just didn't get the reason why we were doing it. May come back to it at later stage.

Blogging

Not sure how I am going to go with this blogging (not sure if that is even a word) experience. Feel like I'm getting information overload already.
