Where Am I 2.0? October 26, 2008
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Articles/Videos, Link Collections, Tools.add a comment
I don’t know if you have ever experienced this or not, but from time to time I hear about a cool new tool and when I sign up I find I’ve already set up an account. I don’t know if there is a cool French term that captures this experience or not, but since déjà vous is already taken, how about a similar déjà tu? Any way, if you aren’t sure if you’ve been somewhere before, thanks to a TechCrunch article - Is Your Username Taken? Usernamecheck Will Tell You - there is a tool that checks a large number of popular Web 2.0 tools to see if your username is already registered. You can use this to see if you might have already created an account, and it is also another way to see a sample of what other tools are out there. I was surprised by one or two of the places where I didn’t realize I had an account. Check to see where your user name is registered!

Flowgram September 25, 2008
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Conference Sessions, Link Collections, Tools.add a comment
Trying out a new presentation option called Flowgram. Yesterday I started putting up a presentation as a page on the blog (see new page: Beliefs) and wasn’t entirely satisfied with the way it looked. So I thought I would try Flowgram as a way to collect web pages as part of the presentation. It also allows you to upload PowerPoint presentations, link to YouTube videos, etc. You can also record a voice track. This should be useful for digital story telling as well as more traditional forms of presentations in the classroom. Here is my Flowgram.

No More Auto-posting Delicious August 25, 2008
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Link Collections, Tools.add a comment
I’ve decided to discontinue auto-posting my del.icio.us link as a blog post. I know, it is now just delicious.com, but my fingers refuse to leave out the punctuation marks. Besides, the old address provided a great opportunity to talk about domain names. Anyway, the daily posts from delicious seem to clutter up the blog, and this way I also remove the fall back position of not blogging because I saved another link that day. No more excuses. You can always follow my links through the RSS feed: feed://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/mwoolums or just adding me to your network.
By the way, here are a few more to track while you are at it.
- Lucy Gray, also known as elemenous: http://delicious.com/elemenous
- Silvia Tolisano, also known as langwitches: http://delicious.com/langwitches
- Vicki Davis, also known as the Cool Cat Teacher: http://delicious.com/brightideasguru
- Vicki Davis, while not a del.icio.us account, she also moderates the educator group in diigo, another social bookmarking site: http://groups.diigo.com/groups/educators
- Larry Ferlazzo, while this isn’t a social bookmarking site, he is one of the best collectors of educational links you can find: http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/

Interesting way to see your bookmarked linked pages in del.icio.us.
