If you are here looking for Exercise 8, it’s in the lower right corner at the bottom of the sidebar.

This is probably the best picture I’ve ever taken of my cats. (Yes, I have cats. Yes, I know that many people do not like cats. I myself am not a huge fan, but my husband loves them, so we got a pair. I love my cats.) No, let’s see if I can get this from Flickr to WordPress… I have spent entirely too much time the past few weeks adding and tagging my favorite web destinations and findings in delicious. It’s incredibly handy, particularly when I see something that I’d like to read but don’t have time to focus on in-depth immediately. I can bookmark it with a few keywords and find it again later. I’ve also lost hours to browsing the bookmarks of users who’ve either marked the same sites that I did or use similar tags. It’s like my first exposure to IMDB all over again! I just kept clicking and couldn’t stop. As part of Exercise #5, I also looked at diigo, and I like the web notes and highlighting. I exported all my delicious bookmarks into diigo and was excited to find that I could set it to post new bookmarks added to diigo back to delicious. Well, that didn’t work. Apparently, there’s a glitch that won’t allow diigo to accept Yahoo IDs as delicious logins. So, I’m trying to see if I want to come up with a workaround or commit only to one or the other.

Instructional Technology — Not just for fun anymore.Posted by bpowers2 in EDIT772-Spring 2010, my jobI started taking EDIT courses purely for enjoyment, but I’m finding that what I’m learning in my classes is, in some cases, directly applicable to my job. I’ve been able to take what I’ve learned about instructional design and specific software tools and really expand what I’m able to do at work. I’m still trying to ramp up use of the team wiki I started at work, and I’ve definitely already got some ideas about how to use some of the tools we’re studying this semester for professional development and outreach.

The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (Brought to you by Press This!)Posted by bpowers2 in EDIT772-Spring 2010, Exercise 2, my jobOne of my favorite Web 2.0 resources is The Electronic Discovery Reference Model. One of the project’s founders spoke at the conference I attended this week, and he said he’d expected it to last about a year. Instead, the EDRM project has turned into a living entity that is constantly reviewed and updated by some of the thought leaders in the electronic discovery arena. Well, that was easy enough — signed up for an onMason account, went through the confirmation process, and managed to find the editing screen. I’ve never blogged before, though I read an ungodly number of them related to my industry. I’ll have to take some time to play with the other features in here when I have some free time. I did manage to update the “About” page as well. |
