Thing 17-Online Productivity Tools
Give a review of the tool you explored - what worked, what didn't work, how might it be used in your personal or professional life?
I tried out the productivity tool "Remember the Milk." I currently use Google Calendar to stay connected in the family. I am not sure how I would use this productivity tool in the classroom with students, but I find it useful to create a list of tasks to complete for my prep hour. It beats the post-it notes that I lose. I plan on checking out the iPhone App. I may find that more useful.

Thing 16-Google Docs
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.
