Great ideas from my Google Reader subscriptions
I get some great ideas from my Google reader subscriptions. I now read about 30 blogs from educational and ICT bloggers every day as well as the new posts from the students in my class. If there is a WOW idea that catches my eye, I will go to the actual blog and follow up the activity.
One from today’s reading was posted by Britt Gow and was about a “tag galaxy”. I headed to the website and created one for my class using the tags sumo, wrestling and tournament. In the actual flash player program you can move the sphere around but I just took a screen shot (first time ever) to use here in my blog.
Hi Tasteach.I saw your tweet about Tag Galaxy and really didn’t know how to use it. Now I do and it’s a wonderful resource, thanks. I typed “friendship” in and came up with a lot of photos which could be used during class discussions. I also followed the links to some photos to the flickr page just to check the copyright and to add some to my favourites.

Hi MRS W!! Good that you and your class can really get some information and….things at that website place!! Good Luck and see you next time
Hi there Sue,
I saw your blog mentioned on Alannahk’s blog. I like your comments about Google Reader. I scan in list form about 700 posts a day and star about 70 on average.Google via this tool has been the main source of my learning 2.0 knowledge.
I am interested to know what web filter system Tasmania has, since we in NSW can’t access some of the most important web 2.0 tools.
Also, I tried to follow you on Twitter, but you are private.
I am also commenting on your blog, because I have not visited before, I don’t think. This is a contribution to the twitterchallenge from an Australian blog and tweeter.
