Summary!

Most Important Thing- I enjoyed reviewing these apps again. I haven't had alot of time to review since the summer so this pushed me to do just that. I have renewed interest in some (RSS, BLOGGING and Library Thing mostly) Good to look at all these possibilities with regard to school use. Made me really think about the pros and cons with each one and how they would fit in the elementary setting especially.
Challenging- Being the second time around for me the technology was easier with most apps. Time was my enemy!
Best ideas- Most didn't come from me but more what I was reading from my blogging mates at HDSB. I like my idea of doing more blogging with Intermediate students as I think it is a great way to share, present without the ordeal for many that age of presenting in front of classmates. I also like blogging and wikis for what it could provide for consistent format for projects between staffs, teachers and others in the community.
Other Apps- I am not yet familiar with others but I noticed that Ross did mention quite a few others that he knows about. This is why this was such a great way to learn from others.
Success of Self-Directed Model- I love it. It reminds me of online courses. I love the freedom to do the work when it suits. Love the opportunity to see and read what my HDSB coursemates are learning from this opportunity. Would do it again if we looked at a second round of applications!

Thanks to the Library Lady for your humourous e-mails, encouragement and direction and to the HDSB library staff who made this happen. I enjoyed it!
