Last blog for class/ Low-cost presentations powered by the cloud

This class has been very time consuming but I know I discovered new technology and will continue to keep playing. This class is better to look back at than to be involved in I really liked playing with the sites but did not enjoy typing reflections on the threads. I know it has caused me to be better at typing but still I find posting for class intimidating and a slow process, now blogging is another story. I do not know if I will continue on twitter but will keep up my Google reader so if anyone posts to their blog I will see it. I hope to spend staff development time this summer really exploring options with my smartboard I know I am just scratching the surface of what I can do. I also will continue to play with Skype ( Kristin I think many of us are new to this) especially when I bite the bullet and pay for Quest Bundling. It is hard to believe that we will be graduating in less than 3weeks.
This caught my eye and I just had to add it, I think clouding is going to really be an economical factor for education in the near future. Low-cost presentations powered by the cloud

Added thoughts to thread 5 and 6 this morning, to school early to play with video casting on Skype. Last night Jeannie, Barb and I were able to have a conference call on SKYPE I have video but was not successful with that because of the dial up connection I tried to view Barb's video but even that was not good and usually disconnected us. The audio portion was fine a little hard to hear at times. It took some work to find Barb and Jeannie's address but now that I have them when they are on line I will know. I think Skype will be a communication tool I will use in the future especially with family and when I get off dial up and onto DSL. I am still planning on doing my presentation on tagging (and word clouds) even though I have learned and spent a lot of time exploring voice and video casting, which I plan to use on my smart board
