NOTE: I cross-posted this on my Salisbury High School blog.
On of my PA Discovery Educator Network friends, Jennifer Dorman, a.k.a. cliotech, is an avid blogger with a widgetized digital footprint. We are a part of each other’s social networks, and that is a very good thing for me because I always learn from her footprints. Usually my learning takes the form of acquiring a new Web 2.0 tool or...

Thanks to @jgates513 for the netTrekker resources for PA teachers - posted some additional resources at http://teach42.com/go/3k
netTrekker Reloaded →
Thanks to Jim Gates for blogging about netTrekker’s new features. I shared his news with the PA Discovery Educator Network and wanted to share them here as well. If you are a Pennsylvania teacher, you likely have access to netTrekker through your I.U. (thanks to the PA Department of Education). If you are hearing about netTrekker for the first time or have not had the opportunity to...

Finally decided that I simply can’t keep up w/my blogroll - took my most frequently read blogs into a new Pageflakes page
@lnitsche I think so - export your delicious bookmarks to a local file and import that file into diigo
@mmkrill Here is another cool resource to suggest http://sketchcast.com/

@davecormier Have ALWAYS wanted a hammock in my living room (next to the fireplace) - very cool!
Possible fix for sharing Google Docs with people whose e-mail addresses you don’t know http://tinyurl.com/28pkeo
Sharing Google Docs →
One thing that has caused me to hesitate in really starting to use Google Docs more with my students and colleagues is that I just didn’t see a way to easily collaborate with many when I didn’t know e-mail addresses and/or Google Accounts. There were a number of Tweets going back a forth a couple of weeks ago about the same issue. It seemed that the general consensus was that while a...

@mmrkill Another thought - what if the students were creating a manual for teaching those math concepts - all resources online
@mmkrill If it isn’t blocked, how about Google Sketch Up for the real-world application of the concept?
@mmkrill They could also create their own videos using Eyespot, Jumpcut, or Jaycut in lieu of a PPT
@mmkrill Or use SlideShare (with comments online for each slide) for their problems or questions?
@mmkrill Also, they could use Google Presentation for their notes …
@mmkrill How about using http://quizlet.com/, http://rememberize.com/, or http://www.studystack.com/ for the student problems?

Widgetize Your Online Footprint →
I came across an interesting widget that aggregates as much of your online footprint as you want. It is called ShowYourself. Here is my ShowYourself Widget. #showyourself { font-family: “Trebuchet MS”, arial, sans-serif; width: 190px; border: 1px solid #A8A8A8; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;}#showyourself h2 { color:#000000; background-color: #FFC000; text-align: center;...

@jdblack64 I think Diigo is better than del.icio.us - allows for shared annotation and groups - been using it professionally & w/students
@bbelardi Very cool - can’t wait to read about it on your blog
@bbelardi Who is funding your grant?
@timlauer hoosgot does look pretty cool - I think students would be fascinated by the integration of various platforms into one interface
@KarenJan Very true …
@jdblack64 Thanks - I appreciate the integration ideas

I just noticed this Twitter widget on Transitioning to Web 2.0. Here is the quick summary of the widget’s functions:
TwitThis is an easy way for people to send Twitter messages about your blog post or website. When visitors to your website click on the TwitThis button or link, it takes the URL of the webpage and creates a shorter URL using TinyURL. Then visitors can send this shortened URL...

@mmkrill Thanks for the link
@mmkrill I have worked with math teachers - do you have a specific project in mind?

Thinking about a marathon bloglines session today to catch up … too much offline time this week
Have been in the house all day w/a migraine - going for a walk before the PSU game to get some fresh air
@scmorgan Some leftover snow in Windsor Locks and Hartford, not too much (lots of traffic, though)
Back from CT - nice Christmas with my family
Terrific Christmas - dinner was a success - great time with family - off to CT tomorrow to do it all again with my family
Merry Christmas!
Going to take a walk through Bethlehem, PA, to look at all the Christmas lights

Which Peanuts Character Are You? →
I’ll admit it - I’ve been playing Christmas music from my “Christmas 2007” play list obsessively on my iPod. I might be driving my husband crazy … One of the CDs that I imported into this playlist is the Charlie Brown Christmas CD. Maybe, that’s what inspired me to take the “Which Peanuts Character Are You?” quiz. So, here are my results … (Is...
