Eight SPPS LMSs, as well as Ann from Metronet, attended the MEMO conference (MN Educational Media Organization) at Cragun's in Brainerd this weekend. Info. Lit. Project members Marcia, Marilyn, Leslie Y., Ann and I attended some eye-opening sessions. I learned about podcasting, Second Life (3-D virtual world on the internet populated by avatars), using SMART Notebook instead of SMART Board as a much less expensive way to accomplish the same thing, iGoogle, Google Docs and more. I'm planning on using Google Docs right away to request some changes in our new library online program by having the LMSs list the changes they'd like on the same doc via the internet. It'll be like sitting around a table writing on the same sheet of paper, except we'll be doing it virtually. The pic above on the right shows Marcia and I discussing internet security with one of the guest speakers.:)
I decided to try 2 pics in this blog and putting them in different locations. I had to edit because some of the type ran into one of the pics and couldn't be easily read. So I moved the text way down. Also, I can't figure out how to go in and make my previous pics smaller. I'll work on that....

Hi Linda,
I'm so glad to have you as a resource at Como- I want to learn more about Podcasting, creating a web-based profile through urban planet.
Thanks for agreeing to help- I do love seeing your dog's picture!
We had a fabulous time at MEMO, professionally and socially. If you haven't made the time to attend a professional conference in your field of expertise with your colleagues you are missing a great opportunity!
Just remember, what happens at Cragun's, stays at Cragun's!
6:20 a.m.! What's with that?!
Linda,
I've got the same problem with my pic of Brett Favre. Vaguely remember being able to set it up but can't find the spot where that was.
Yes, you have to set up a Yahoo account to make an avatar.
Linda, I love the way you just jump in and DO things! You are a fabulous role-model for your teachers, and for me.
Leslie
