  Times used to be simpler: a man was a gentleman, a woman was a lady. But today? Today the kind of questions we face include “Is it okay if I ignore a ‘friend request’ on Facebook?”, “Is it impolite to put my cell phone on the table in the restaurant?” or “How long can I use the free WiFi in the café without ordering anything?”. The digital lifestyle is changing our lives and our behavior. So who can we turn to for advice on questions concerning “Etiquette 2.0”?

• Evaluating Web Pages: Techniques to Apply & Questions to Ask

  Evaluating web pages skillfully requires you to do two things at once:

  Train your eye and your fingers to employ a series of techniques that help you quickly find what you need to know about web pages;
  Train your mind to think critically, even suspiciously, by asking a series of questions that will help you decide how much a web page is to be trusted.
  This page is organized to combine the two techniques into a process that begins with looking at your search results from a search engine or other source, follows through by investigating the content of page, and extends beyond the page to what others may say about the page or its author(s).

Aviary’s Audio Editor – Myna Tutorial

My attempt to make using Aviary’s Myna easier;

 

Fun with Avatars

Some of you have already discovered the fun in creating an avatar or cartoon version of yourself. This is an activity that I do with 4th graders every year as part of my Internet Safety/Digital Citizenship lessons. It is a fun way to help kids find an alternative to sharing pictures of themselves on their social profiles. You too can have fun in creating your own avatar to share on your blog (this is an optional activity).

These are 5 of my favorites-

Clay Yourself

Lego withhttp://www.reasonablyclever.com/mizers.html	Simpsonize Me (uploading photo)… http://simpsonizeme.com/
Face Your Manga http://www.faceyourmanga.com/	SP Studio & Create South Park Avatar.. http://www.sp-studio.de/index.htm & http://www.southparkstudios.com/avatar/

Diigo – Making Bookmarking Social

How do you bookmark the resources you find on the web? Do you create a bookmark/favorite in your browser? Do you save to Delicious?

Last summer I experienced Diigo and I was hooked. It not only gave me an online solution for saving my bookmarks, but it also allowed me to create groups to share my links. As a member of a Diigo group, you can schedule daily, weekly or monthly updates for new links. A Diigo library is also a great way to share links with your students. Here are the digital storytelling links I think are most helpful share in a ‘tagged’ list… http://www.diigo.com/user/plan3t_t3ch/digital_storytelling.

Diigo is a very useful tool for maintaining my Personal Learning Network. As a member of any Diigo group, you can schedule daily, weekly or monthly updates for new links. Many of the links I find, I share on Twitter or to other Diigo groups. I am a member of several Diigo groups from subjects ranging from Project Based Learning to Internet Safety. Each week I get an e-mail sharing all the latest links shared in this group. My two favorite groups are;

• Discovery Educator Network
• IEAR – I Education Apps Review

Installing the Diigo Toolbar is a must. With this browser add-on, you can save and share your bookmarks in a few simple clicks. Check out this video for support.

I created a Diigo group for ED554 called MU_ED554 to share links with you and other educators around the net.

Create a Diigo account (can use your Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts to make it easy), become a member of a group and begin sharing.
