This is cool.

I like this Posterous thing.  I like being able to post from email. SWEEEEET.

POSTEROUS!

Check out my posterous account at http://jwaldock.posterous.com/

I started a Posterous account as my Thing #1 for 17 Things to Chew On. I hadn't really heard about Tumblr or Posterous prior to today. I had seen "Tumblr" referenced on various websites and what not but never understood that these sites are like mini-blogs. I like the idea of not having to always log into the blog itself to make a post. Having the flexibility to post short blasts from my phone or email is great. I can literally post on the run! (Now I just need to get a group of followers who will actually care about what I post)!

Perhaps that group could be students! I could see using this Posterous account to post interesting things that are happening in the math world, education world, or pop-culture world. Things that might interest my students. I could require them to have an account that would allow them to make comments to my posts. Hmmm....we'll see where this goes.

For now - enjoy a few random pictures of former SEE Team students, my nephew Sam, and me, currently in the RB lab working on this post!

17 Things --- ROUND 2!!!

Well, here I go again. 17 Things to Chew On, Round Dos.

I am excited for the challenge that this strand brings.

thing 13 - animoto!

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.



Ooh - I love animoto! How cool! SEE Team has been talking (for five years?) about making a commercial to show incoming 8th graders and possibly run on RBTV and what not. Well, what do you know? Voila! This took maybe ten minutes to create! I know I can make it better but for 10 minutes, this is awesome!

#10 - The Thing is Ning!

Hello -

I'm ning-ing as Jen Waldock at jwaldock.ning.com. I'm a little overwhelmed with the set-up because I'm so used to the way Facebook looks but I'm up for something new! I don't think I'll use Ning for educational purposes this year but I suppose there is some value to it. I like what RB16 is doing - great job, you guys! If I ran a club or organization I might set up a Ning account to manage my students.

Thing 11

I love that this "thing" is something I've already been doing on my own for a few months. I joined Shelfari first, but then a friend said she liked "Goodreads" better, so I'm a member of both but have been updating Goodreads more. I am "jennifer" at jwaldock@gmail.com on Goodreads. Find me!
