It's been a while, and like lots of you, I need to work to catch up. I'm skipping around a little - stuck on Skype, despite all of Nancy's help. I've decided that stubbornness is what's needed to use these tools. Also, the ability to focus and not get
too distracted by all of the wonderful links on the website.
Flixster is great for movie lovers (
www.flixster.com) I watched trailers from some of the movies I'm looking forward to this fall, and took a quiz. You can also watch streaming movies and TV show episodes for free. And
Virtual Tourist is one I know I'll use (
http://www.virtualtourist.com/). In the forums for travel in Italy there was a question from someone who is arriving in Venice tomorrow morning and asked about the best way to get to a particular location. I checked back an hour later and he'd gotten 8 replies! Another person asked about whether it's necessary to wear a tie and jacket to the opera in Italy.
I've used
Flickr several times. I posted lots of photos of the libraries for Kathy Schalk-Greene and Joan Bernstein prior to our staff development day last fall. So much easier than trying to email all of those files! The libraries look different now, but if you want to see some "before" photos you can find them at

The web is well named - easy to get caught in the strands and lose yourself!
