Opening Doors with Open Source
I'll admit it, I'm a little impressed. I'm always looking for new, interesting websites and programs that I can use with my students... that are preferably free! When I hear of a colleague using a new website or program, I am always wondering where they were able to discover this awesome new piece of free technology. Sometimes I feel like I look and look forever but never "stumble upon" (haha... get it?) anything of great value. Now I have my own stockpile of interesting, free websites and programs that are surely going to come in handy this year. I've already starting working with and planning for the use of some really great writing tools that will get my students to be excited and interested in doing what I'd like them to do--write! Open Source websites and programs have really impressed me, and now I can really impress others with my new breadth of knowledge of free, interesting websites. I can't wait to share some of these great tools with my colleagues.

I feel the same way. Everyone seems to know about all this cool stuff on the web, and I am always taking their suggestions, never supplying my own! BUT...I just started a social bookmark, and now, with the help from this class, I hope I can be a sharer more than a taker this year. I've already bookmarked my favorite sites and can't wait to share. I'm not really sure who I'm working with this year, but, hopefully, someone on my team will join in on the fun! I hope you have a great time being a sharer this year as well!! Haha in regards to stumble upon :)
