Dooce.com
I already posted this on Blackboard but one blog I read for fun is www.dooce.com It’s written by a woman who lives in Salt Lake City and I particularly enjoy her take on parenting and work. She’s had crazy things happen to her, she is not afraid to share her fears and frustrations with the world AND she’s just plain funny. Check her out.
Common Craft
Social Bookmarking in Plain EnglishÂ
These are some of my all time favorite videos on the web. I watch for new ones and check them out when they are released. I use them to explain Web 2.0 to my husband :-). I’ve shared them with my other librarian friends in GA and LA as well. They would be good to use in classes when the need fits a particular assignment.
Learning 2.0 stuff
I have to say using all this 2.0 stuff has been fun. When I went to MySpace to poke around, an old friend from college found me and friended me before I knew what hit me. Blogging is something I would love to do, but just don’t have the time. I tell myself perhaps when the girls are older…maybe then I will have time… and by then blogs will probably be out of style! Oh well…
