But I digress. I'm just marveling at this website where I can create my own web environment so easily. I don't consider myself a novice, but relatively proficient for someone who uses computers a lot but not as my primary job. I'd never even heard of Weebly. Now that I've discovered it, it seems to be pretty cool...with lots of really handy tools. I know this isn't the only place where I can create my own web environment...I have also have a blog on LiveJournal and am on Facebook regularly. I used to be active on CafeMom.com and was a "Go-To" mom that wrote articles for ClubMom.com. Some of those articles have also been published on AssociatedContent.com. And now I collaborate with another teacher on the blog site "classroomconnections.tumblr.com." I was asked to join Weebly.com by another Chinese Teacher, and learn how to use its features, so we can work on some collaborations. I definitely think that there is much potential with what I can do with Weebly.com. Only time will tell, though as to whether I can sustain the momentum...or if I go back to just Facebook...or I find the next new thing. In the meantime, enjoy my ramblings!
There's so much technology out there and available to use. There's a ton of technology websites and applications designed for teachers or that can be used by teachers. I'm going to be sharing some here as I discover them. I already have some favorites that I know I'll be sharing here on this blog. However, there never seems to be quite enough time to find and learn how to use everything that's out there. It's so much easier and more user-friendly now than back in the "dark ages" when I was putting together my first website for work...or even further back into the "bronze age," when I was participating in the Student Conference Project at the University of Michigan...or even the Stone age, when we were using the teletype-like printers that printed at 300 baud at its top speed, and connected in via acoustic couplers.
