Thing 7 - Google Reader

Ooh! I've been using Google Reader for over a year so I'm excited to see that it made it onto the list of '17 things!' I quickly added my colleagues' blogs to the list even before I knew that this was going to be one of the assignments. In addition to following my fellow 17 Thing-ers, I follow some of my college friends' blogs, a sort of celebrity fashion/gossip blog, and a daily recipe blog. I never considered Google Reader to have any influence on my profession or career but I will definitely add some of those educational news feeds to my list. Thanks!

Thing 6 - Weebly Website

Hooray - I published a website! You can see my website at:

I had fun messing around with the different designs and layouts. What I have up there currently only took a few minutes to set up. I may change the layout later but for now it seems easy to navigate and read. I plan on using it to post announcements and information for my classes.

Thing 4

I added to the 17 Things Google doc. Waiting for Google calendar invite. I've been using Google docs for a few year for personal things. Perhaps SEE Team will introduce it to our students to alleviate the heavy use of paper handouts. Exciting!

Thing 5 - Twitter

Twitter name - 'jwaldock.' Search for me!

Thing 9 -making my blog more snazzy

I added a slide show gadget (still trying to connect it to Flickr...will figure that out soon!), a picture of a zebra, a welcome text box, a list of my current 'must' items that will be updated periodically, and a cloud list of my tags. Fun! My blog looks better already!

Thing 3 - Delicious

I set up a Delicious account. I'm getting WAY too confused with all of the usernames and passwords (I should probably keep them in a notebook) but I think I signed up as jenwaldock. Look for me!

Anyway, the account is set up, I added some of my favorite websites, and added Mrs.Duell to my network. I'll be back later to reflect on the experience.

Thing 2

I am following Alicia, Kellie Dean, Jame Holt, Melissa Gordon, Tim Scanlon, Patty Young, Geoff Geltner, and Dan Mancoff. I hope I can share ideas with my fellow SEE Team teachers and my math department colleagues.

I have 'tagged' blog posts regarding math, travels, 17 Things, and jokes. I haven't posted many entries yet so my list of 'tags' will only increase.

Thing 8 - Flickr Account

I just joined the world of Flickr. I am a Facebook-er and typically just post pictures to that site, but Flickr may be another option to showcase photos to friends and family who have not yet given in to the Facebook craze.

I uploaded a few pictures of a book I made for my nephews and niece, as well as some photos from my travels in southern Africa this summer. My Flickr name is 'jwaldock.'
