Web+2.0+Project

**WELCOME TO MY FIRST EVER WIKI ... YAY FOR BJ!**

**Web 2.0 is the topic of Week 3 in EDUC 573 which comes along with a mass of research and a ginormous amount of work! YIKES! I really wish I had more time to thoroughly explore all the the Web 2.0 links that have been introduced; I've been feverishly adding to my new Symbaloo and Delicious accounts the new links Dr. Henry and my fellow classmates have suggested. I find this SO interesting!**

===After playing with this application for a while (see photo of myself and one of my twin girls) I quickly realized how easy it is to make some really fun and interesting photos! One day, when I actually have a teaching career within a High School, I would enjoy managing the yearbook production. This website would be a great site to make cool pics for the yearbook! Also, within the business classes I will be teaching, this application could be used to make a story board (great idea for visually driven students and good application for diverse learners - maybe those who don't do as well in speaking type of presentations). ===

===I also spent some time this week exploring [|www.magmypic.com]. For the same reasons I think [|www.befunky.com] is a great tool, so is [|www.magmypic.com] or [|www.magmykids.com] of which I experimented and had great fun doing so! This site also allows users to link the new creation to several different social networking sites such as facebook, glogster, delicious, etc. So, another application could be to have students create their own magazine cover and post it on the class blog site to induce a conversation on a certain topic (for example my mag discussion would be safety). Take a look at this magazine cover I created out of a photo I took of my little Sydni inside a dryer at Home Depot (my husband does not see the humor in this still to this day which is two years after this photo was snapped!) ===
