How might you use this tool in your personal and professional life? What issues come to mind about using this tool with students (ie, they need email addresses to log-in)?
I think that Google Docs is a very useful tool. I can easily share documents with elementary and upper art classrooms. I no longer have to just email my ideas. Now I can share them easily with the other art teachers.
It will be great when students have gmail accounts next year. What a great way to keep track of absence work. I can just tell them to go online and print off the notes or worksheet for that particular lesson. Many students have access to the Internet and a printer, but some will have difficulty. I would not make this method of teaching mandatory until I was positive that all students could participate.

Long live paper and scissors
I made this as a cutting example for my students. I found the quote on crafster and couldn't help myself.
WINNING
I love modern pop culture twists on lost crafts like cross stitch. Awesome. The gold frame really sets it off.

Thing 15
Is RSS becoming easier to understand? Do you recognize new benefits of using this tool? Do you remember to check your feeds regularly? Has it become a habit (or obsession!) yet?
RSS is becoming easier to understand. Like before, I do think it is very beneficial to my productivity. I sometimes forget to check my feeds. I read the news from the Fox News app on my iPhone. I'm not sure that this will change. I do not spend a lot of time at my desktop or laptop when home, and that would be where I would check the news. As for the art blogs that I have been following. I find the tool very helpful. It has kept me up to date throughout the week. Not sure I would call it an obsession.

Thing 10 is so "essy"-Dot Dot Dot (Official Video HD)
For all of my English buffs out there. This is my absolute favorite video on YouTube. It is a dramatic voice over of a comment made on a game app for iPhone. It is a hilarious example of poor grammar used in social networking.
Thing 10 Revisited
Add comments to the video you embedded. Why did you select it? Were you also able to download a video?
I selected this video because I will be introducing Doodle 4 Google 2012 to my classes this week. This is the video I will be showing to them to spark some ideas. I want them to understand how to transform the logo into an image that reflects their own creative idea.
Embedding a video from YouTube was much easier than described. You just select the embed/more button and embed to Blogger. Super easy. So easy, I will be using it more often.
