Finito!

Well, here I am, blogging for the last time. I think this has been an excellent outline of the tools that are available out there, and has been a very worthwhile experience. I am sure I will utilise a number of them again, and hope that the links will remain open for us so that I can refer to them often.

Thanks very much for the experience, and, for the (possibly) last time, happy blogging!

#22 Audiobooks and #23 Downloadable media

Got to love these! My biggest decision at the moment though is which e-reader will suit my needs (and also my school's) the best. I think their greatest advantages are their convenience (and their corresponding ability to hold many more resources than I could ever carry) and their size. I have to admit though that I still can't curl up under my doona with a good e-reader on a cold night! I guess time will tell.

Happy blogging!

#21 Youtube and teacher tube

I picked this Youtube clip as it showed Melbourne in 1910 - perfect for those of us interested in history! Just love Youtube!

Happy blogging!

#20 Podcasts.

Aren't podcasts wonderful? They've certainly provided us with a great teaching tool, both in terms of content and versatility. Thanks very much for providing these links. I'll be spending lots of time here looking for items relevant to my classes!

Happy blogging

#19 Rollyo

I have to admit I approached this site with some trepidation/concern as, after reading some other posts, I wasn't sure whether I would be able to access it. What a pleasant surprise when I could. I searched Australian history, and, even with a spelling error (I wish my fingers wouldn't run over each other!) I managed to find quite a few useful, interesting sites. I think this is definitely one site spend I'll time exploring, as I'm sure it will help me find many sites that are useful for my teaching.

Happy blogging!

#17 Delicious and #18 Wikis

Now here are two tools I can sink my teeth into! Delicious seems like a very useful site/device. I like that individuals can save their websites and the collaborative element involved also. It is always great to share knowledge, and so this is an extension of that sharing.

The same can also be said for wikis. The conversational/sharing/collegial aspect of them is one of their main attractions to me. However, the downside, as pointed out in the reading, is that they are accessible to anyone, and can be added to by anyone. This therefore needs to be taken into account when they are being used.

Two more useful sites. Thanks!

Happy blogging.
