I do love the digital camera and how easy it is to upload pictures into the laptop and/or Flickr. One of my goals for this week is to explore google's Picasa and see what that has to offer. Last school year our technology integration specialist showed us VoiceThread. That application is one I really liked to record book talks. Talking about the same books to four different classes to three different teams gets old. This allowed me to show it to the students, and they could look at the books that appealed to them on their time at home as I made it accessible on the library webpage.
Another application I love is MovieMaker, although I become so obsessed with cutting music at the precise time, I drive myself crazy. Windows should fix it to be able to key in the exact time like it is in Power Point...which I really find very annoying. Speaking of that, have you seen this YouTube How NOT to Use Powerpoint. Very, very funny.

Some more technologies that I like, and need to learn to be more effective with are the new little Flip video cameras, which I just purchased for the library this year, moodle, and wiki pages.
So many applications and so little time.

Thanks for the link to the Power Point You Tube video. I have shared it with several teachers. We wish we could use it with students but unfortunately the language is not appropriate for our 5-6 graders.
