Thing 8: Collaborating Connecting Sharing

I am a big supporter of Google Apps for teachers. Half of what I create is in Google Docs, as I can access it from anywhere, including my phone. Often times, I even end up uploading stuff I've created in Word, just so it is there. I have lots of things for school, including spreadsheets of reading promotion activities, records of student logins for Animoto projects, forms for my student workers, and a bunch of other things. I also use Google calendars to keep track of classes and projects I am working on.

Thing 6: Curation

I'm not a big social bookmarker - if there is something I need to remember, I usually stick it in a Google Doc. I know everyone is using Evernote, but I haven't made the switch yet. However, I do like the curation tools. I use Scoop.It for finding info, and Pinterest for noting cool things for the library (don't use this as often though). I really like the idea of MentorMob but haven't tried it out yet, and Paper.li was too much for me.
