New Blogging Browsers
Now, on the other hand there is a free web browser called FLOCK.
It is very BLOGGER friendly ...once you download and install it, it allows to you highlight portions of the web that you are
reading, right click and choose a portion of that data to post to your
blog. You can even post pictures on that temporary space and have them upload to your blog.
FLOCK can be associated with online photo editors like FLICKR and social bookmarks like del.icio.us
in dynamic ways. This means that if your friends have FLICKR accounts
and post pictures...they can show up on the masthead of your browser.
You can use Flock as an aggregator too making it easy to subscribe and view your feeds without another application.

School Librarians rejoice!
If you haven’t had the opportunity to listen to the most recent podcast #53 Ed Tech Talk - LibraryFest, take the chance. Joyce Valenza was the guest and provides great information for your principals and teachers to listen to. For example if you need to put together a unit on biography, or civil rights or how to form your upper level BLOOMS questions with your staff or kids!
Check out the podcast runs - it runs about 45 minutes and the show notes have tons of excellent links worth checking out! Take some time and listen it or download soon- then think about how you might use the ideas it has in your own work!

I LOVE WIKI's
Thanks to Librarian in Black and Libraryman I can keep up to date with my WIKI quests! Look at the cool map that popped up called Wikimapia. Folks can create locations with labels and TAGS so that they are searchable! Your students and Social Studies teachers are going to love this!
Off to the hills
