Week 6, Thing 15

Talk about confusion, after looking at this information, I feel more confused than before about copyright laws. I have always tried to be very careful about using someone's material because of the warnings we've received at work. However, with there being so much information on the web, it is even harder to determine what is and isn't copyrighted. I have a question. Is a picture, drawing, etc. still copyright material if it is edited to meet your needs?

Week 6, Thing 14

Well, I am not sure if it is because I am tired or if it is just not my type of thing, but I did not care for the Technorati site. The site was a bit cluttered for me. However, I will keep it in mind in case I ever need to try to find a blog about a specific topic or by a specific group.

Week 6, Thing 13

I like http://del.icio.us/ . It is a neat way of organizing your favorites. I like the fact that you can just click on the icon and it will list the site for you and you can give a short description of the site and why it is important for you.

Week 5, Thing 12

It is funny that we are doing this activity because I was thinking the other day about putting all of these sites in a folder to make it easier to find the information on them. Wow, now it is done and so easily. I can use this tool with my students who are learning to find their way around the web but have trouble doing so because of their vision losses. This is the Rollyo that I came up for a starter. I will be making many changes to it and making new ones too.

Week 5, Thing 11

I enjoy playing games from the net. I usually play the games on www.shockwave.com I especially like the strategy games where you have to find the hidden objects to solve the mysteries. So, I thought this would be great because I would be finding some different games to explore. Well, I have to say that I am disappointed. The first site I went to was mostly older games that did not have the graphics and technology that children like today. The other sites I tried would not work. I guess I will just have to stay with Shockwave.

Week 5, Thing 10

I used http://www.comicstripgenerator.com/ It was really fun. I can see a lot of fun and silly posters coming from this site.
