One of the first things I like to do in the morning is check the most recent tweets I’ve had pop in since the evening before. Since I’m connected to people around the world I do get quite a few.
I’m not a teacher, but this online course for K-12 educators is great resource for online educators of any sense. 21 things for the 21st Century Educator has just what it says. 21 quick topics with everything from Digital Citizenship to various online tools to your own professional development.
I also was shown through tweets, a link to How to activate tethering on any iPhone without jailbreaking. I was interested to see this because I didn’t know what tethering meant but knew it could be exciting. I’m now a little less excited because it appears I need a Mac to utilize the steps here. Maybe after I update my software and read this a bit more I’ll figure it out. I’d love to be able to use my iPod Touch more at work.
I also was put onto this great article and great web/iPhone application that allows consumers to be more aware of what they are purchasing as they purchase it. GoodGuide is an application “that lets consumers dig past the package’s marketing spiel by entering a product’s name and discovering its health, environmental and social impacts.”
This site I can’t wait to try later this evening when I upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0. It describes How to Use the Best 40 Features of iPhone 3.0. I’m sure this will take up most of my evening.
The final thing that caught my attention before 9:00 this morning was a blog posting – Web 3.0 explained….again! This posting is great because it links you directly to two SlideShare presentations 1: Web 3.0 explained with a stamp (pt I: the basics) and 2: Web 3.0 explain with a stamp (pt II: techniques). Don’t let the slide count of each of the presentations scare you away. Both are simple, clean presentations that you can read through in about 5-10 minutes each. They get the point across quickly describing to the reader exactly what web 3.0 is, how we can utilize it and how benefit from out own expanding knowledge of technology can work for us.
