LibraryThing

Six years ago I was an avid reader, then I went back to working full-time and it all came to an end. I find that I do not have enough time to read for pleasure. However, playing around with this site has brought me back to those days of reading for enjoyment. What a great tool to keep you organzied and current with books you might be interested in reading.

Image Generators

As a coach and teacher, I found the creativity of these sites amazing. The personalized images that I could send to my athletes prior to an important game or special day will be a great way to inspire them.





The image below is for my son who plays for the developmental LA Galaxy soccer team. He has two games this weekend at the Home Depot Center.

I found this tool not as useful as youtube or the del.icio.us. I like the video/audio concept that youtube allows and the organizational tools del.icio.us allows. I like the idea of podcasting for my students on my website, such things as homework assignments, information, research techniques, etc. However, I do not know how much I will use podcasting for personal use.

Technorati

Technorati is another useful tool in searching for information on the web. However, depending upon the search network used information may be limited. Kinesiology was found on the blog search, but not on the posts or directory tool. I noticed that the del.icio.us tool could also be accessed from this website/search tool. In the past I was only using google to search for information. Now I see there are so many other ways to gain information from all over the global web.

Del.icio.us Blog Post

The potential use for this tool is remarkable. I found this tool much easier to use than the standard google search. The categories were easy to follow and the quick access to various sites for research information was instant. I could definitely use this tool for my classes, especially when they are working on their research projects. As a teacher, this site will help keep all bookmarks previously used organzied into one tool and easily accessed from anywhere.
