Getting back to iGoogle and adding to it was really fun. I am so amazed at the options for iGoogle. I have been using it as my home page, but that was really just the beginning there are so many other uses for it. I choose a new gadget. It is similar to a tide chart. It shows the wave height at Waimea Bay on Oahu. We often check the surf report for Maui, and then compare it to the surf report somewhere else in the world. Now I have the Waimea Bay surf report at my finger tips.
A shout out to WIMBA! On Tuesday everyone was sharing different 2.0Web Tools that they are using. The site, littlebirdtales.com was mentioned. So Tuesday night I went to the site and created a book. At school on Wednesday I shared the book with my students. I asked them to write a short story. Then I explained that they would use that story to create a book, using the littlebirdtales website. They loved it! They had fun writing the stories, and even more fun illustrating the books.
