I’m back! Learning new things. Google Maps
Posted by: Mary Alice Anderson on: April 5, 2009
Between working and teaching online courses and going to basketball games learning 23 things has taken a back seat. As so often happens, the great work of one of my students has inspired me. The driving factor was an upcoming tour of downtown Winona by a group of third grade students. At the same time [...]
I’m back to attempt another go-around of 23 things. I just viewed the clip by the author of Here comes everybody, a book that’s been on my ” to read” list for a while. Some of the “things” I first explored a year ago are now routine–Delicious, Picture Trail, and Google Docs, especially. [...]
Thing # 11. Del.icio.us

Delicious was on my “to learn” list for far too long; it was one of the motivating factors for my participation in “23 things!” I desperately needed a way to better manage all the wonderful ideas I’m acquiring for teaching and writing. It was a bit of a surprise-and humbling– to see that [...]

I was so inspired by Leanna’s photo carousel (Learning 23 Things blog) I just had to try a photo carousel of my own using photos of WSU basketball games. Learning principle applied: We’re motivated to learn when it’s a topic we’re interested in!

Thing #9: Google Docs
Posted by: Mary Alice Anderson on: March 18, 2008
Now this is practical — and doable, even though I had to set up another account. At least it’s an account at a site I visit often! I am inspired to use Google Docs for planning our summer tech academy in the district. A great opportunity to model!
Thing # 6: Trading cards
Posted by: Mary Alice Anderson on: February 25, 2008
This could be fun!
Do people trade them virtually?
What a cool way to add some pizazz to our web pages and get students involved.
Toon Doo could provide a wealth of ideas for our art classes.
Thing # 4 & 5: Flickr
Posted by: Mary Alice Anderson on: February 18, 2008
I am impressed–and overwhelmed. I had no idea Flickr offered so much. I’m thrilled with the Library of Congress collection It has potential for k-12 students who need photos and for students in my online primary source class. The concept of a photo puzzle is intriguing. [...]
Thing # 3 –RSS
Posted by: Mary Alice Anderson on: February 18, 2008
Not hard to do — and the feeds I subscribed to could be useful for writing and online teaching ideas. I am especially excited about the blog entry I discovered about The University of Notre Dame’s geocaching activities for library orientation. A nice complement to my March/April Multimedia & Internet @Schools [...]
