More Youtube videos

This one's pretty funny as well, I love the part when he puts the socks in his ears lol

#21 Online Video

OMG Youtube is so much fun, I love using it. I added this video coz I think it's funny, it's of Mr Bean when he goes to the swimming pool. I found it through one of the links you provided of Rowan Atkinson-School Mater, thanks.

I like using Youtube coz u can pretty much find any sort of video that you may be interested in as well as posting your own videos. One of the negative aspects of youtube can be that some people may find certain videos offensive.I don't think that youtube would be a good tool to use in the classroom as it would be difficult to keep track of what the students are looking up, however you can find educational videos on there.

#20 Podcasts

I found some really fun podcasts to listen to, I enjoyed listening to this particular podcast that spoke about tv shows and went over past episodes (i listened to a review of an old Dawson's creek episode, i love this show lol), however I couldn't find the RSS feed to add...oh well lol. I found this podcast randomly, and often I find the hardest thing to do is find particular podcasts that I would be interested in.

I definetly would listen to more podcasts in future as there are always new and interesting topics to find on there. Thanks for providing the links to some sites with podcasts, that helped :)

#17 Delicious

Delicious can be a handy tool to use for research purposes as well as looking up topics that may interest you. I have used Delicious briefly in the past while at uni as there were links put up for us to use when researching, however I didn't use it as often as I shouldhave. I think there are alot of similar types of tools like delicious out there, so I proberly would only use one or two of these sites.

#19 Rollyo

I think Rollyo would be a great tool for a school teacher to use, as they would be able to create a search roll based around a particular sunject. It would have all the information that the studunts would need on there.

It's also good to just sit on the computer and explore sites that you may not have known existed.

Here's the link to mine, enjoy:

#18 Wiki

I enjoy using Wikipedia to look up random facts about all sorts of topics. It can be fun and interesting. In the past I edited a page and later on found that someone else had taken off what i put on there (i was no happy lol). Overall i think its a great thing to have.

When looking at Wikinorthia, I wasn't able to edit or add and content to the site. I was trying to add some information to the sports and recreation section but had no luck :( When i selected edit it won't let me edit the subcategories. If you feel nice enough to help me with this oneday that would be great lol :) I thought it was a good site to have, it may need some more information added every now and then.

#16 Stay Informed-Subscribe to some blogs

I found it a little difficult to find some blogs that I would be interested in, having said that I did manage to subscribe to one youth related blog that I found useful. Perhaps you could help me with this sometime soon Fiona? :-)

#15 What is an RSS feed?

At first I didn't enjoy using RSS, however after spending a bit of time looking at different items I found it to be useful and fun to use. There are various topics you can read about and keep up-to-date with such as entertainment, jokes, book reviews, movie reviews, world news and lots more. I found myself reading various articles and clicking on different links as there was alot of interesting things to read. I think it will take a little time to find different topic items that will be of interest to me both personally as well as work related items. Overall it was pretty good.

#14 Facebook

I love using Facebook, it's a great way to stay in contact with high school friends that you don't see on a regular basis and it's another way to communicate to others as well. I enjoy using the applications and games on there and posting photos, links and uploading videos for my friends to see. However, when using Facebook I think it's really important to keep your profile private and not provide too much information about yourself.

#13 Myspace

I enjoy using Myspace, i think it's a great way to talk to friends via the internet as well as dicover new things such as music. Libraries and councils are using Myspace as a way to connect with people in their area by advertising the services and programs that they provide to people. For example Myspace is a great way to promote Get Loud and Teen Game Nights.

I've used Myspace in the pass and find that it is always changing and keeping up-to-date with latest interests that myspace users may have. Many community groups have a Myspace page which was great to see, however i couldn't find any Australian High Schools with a Myspace page which was odd.

I would use Myspace both personally and professionally as it's a positive way to connect with others.

#12 Store photos online with Flickr

Flickr was fun to use. I enjoyed looking up different pictures and posting them in my blog. It's a great way to share photos with others. Hope u enjoy some of the photos I put up :)

#11 LibraryThing

Library Thing is fun to use and simply. It's a great way to encourage students to discover new books or discuss one's they have read before.

Most of the books that I added to my collection were popular whereas some were not as popular. Library Thing is also good as it gives you the chance to find books that are often difficult to find in a regular book store.

Here's a link to my collection. Enjoy:

#10 Image generators

I enjoyed looking at Image generators, however sometimes it was a little confussing. I was able to upload two images and post them in blogs. Hope you enjoy them :)

#9 Virtually Online

Second Life was very interesting as you are pretty much living another life over the internet (now i know why it's called second life lol) Its a great way to meet new people from all over the world and discover new and exciting things. What I enjoyed most about Second Life is that you are able to visit universities and learn about certain subjects. This could be a good way to provide students with creative ways to learn.

Exit Reality and World WarCraft were also interesting. However i would proberly use Second Life more often.

#8 iGoogle

I found iGoogle very interesting, there are a variety of gadgets that you can access which is great as it would appeal to many different people. iGoogle is handy for work purposes and you can also use it just for fun :) Some of the gadgets that I used were youtube, eyes, word and quotes of the day, google maps and a few others.

I think it would be exciting to work at a place such as Google as you would be able to keep up-to-date with new technology, discover interesting things via the internet and be involved in new ideas for Google.

#7 Google Books

Hey,

just checked out Google Books, i loved it :) I never knew you could view and whole book over the internet. This will come in handy :) It is also very useful in helping you locate an older book that you may not be able to find in a book shop.

Google Book search could be used in an educational setting by allowing students to access books online that are in the school curriculum as well a text books that they may need. This could be useful in helping students develop their computers skills by keeping up to date with new technology. It also provides another avenue into reading books.

#6 Google Maps

I really enjoyed looking at Google Maps :) I particularly liked how you are able to selected any street from around the world and look at it as if you are actually there :) Great invention. The features are awesome.

#5 Google Docs

I had look around Google Docs, I found it a little difficult to use, but I'm sure once I use it more often it will be useful :)

#4 web 2.0

#4 web 2.o

It was interesting to learn about the term web 2.0 and how it has been updated from web 1.0. I think it is a useful tool to use as you are able to communicate with others via the web by posting blogs, sharing information and videos as well as being able to network with others from around the globe.

#2 Create a blog

Hello,

It's Daniela here, just started the web 2.0 program, it sounds very interesting. I'm looking forward to learning more about the program.

Thanks.
