Welcome

Hi Everyone,

This blog may have been created for a class but I hope to use it as a way of organizing information not only for others but for myself as well.

A little bit about me:
I'm a 27 year old Elementary Library Media Specialist teaching classes at 2 schools with a total of over 600 students. After school I tutor fellow teachers on how to use and integrate various technologies into their lesson plans. On Saturdays I work at a shoe store that I have happily been a part of for over 8 years.
Since I work 6 days a week it is difficult to fit hobbies into my extra time. But I guess if working out and nutrition is considered a hobby then it would be mine. I weightlift twice a week and do some form of cardio five days a week. In the past year I have lost over 40 pounds and have become a firm believer that with diet, exercise, and determination that anyone can live a healthier lifestyle. So that is enough about me.

Ready, Set, and Let the Blogging Begin,

Laurel Wing

Second Life

by Howard Rheingold

I really enjoyed this video, Rheingold was very interesting to watch and quite funny.  I really loved his virtual office and the graphics were pretty good.  His office actually made me think of that video game Sim City.  I like how as he moves around the second life office and clicks on the walls how it links to videos, pictures, blogs, learning communities and wiki's. The part that made me laugh out loud is when was making his avatar move and he said, "Standing up puts me on top of the chair but its digital so I don't mind."  Overall, this was a cool video and I'm going to watch the other in the series to see how he made his second life office.
