Image Generators


Really enjoyed these sites. Found lots of "cool" things, that I can use in/with my hobby(scrapbooking). Pity some of the sites were blocked and so couldn't have a good look but will definitely be looking up these sites at home.

My favourites were Fd's flickr Toys and letter James.

igoogle

This was fun and quite easy to set up. Pity some of the add ons/ins don't work though.
Now I have set my own page up with tabs etc. I will probably use everyday and keep adding to as required.

Would I like to work at Google - I suppose it could be interesting!!

Google Docs

This is cool! Useful for documents that several people are working on. Can see real benefits for the use of this. Could give some competition to Microsoft Office suites, but I don't think would take over from it.

Google Maps

Another thing I have used and found helpful. I think its good that you can check out a place and help familiarise yourself with the area before you go there (especially when travelling overseas or interstate). It could also be helpful if you were considering buying/renting - you could check out the neighbours before committing yourself.

Podcasts & Vodcasts

Another new thing for me. I still don't own an iPod or any other of these media players. Don't have any plans to buy one in the near future either. Its a good tool. I find it amazing how swiftly technology is developing. An idea one minute and out there the next. How does the average person keep up with it all???

Edit a Wiki

Will have to go back to this one, I have posted a blog, but there weren't any others to trying editing on.

Yes can see there appeal. Not being a teacher I wouldn't use it for delivery purposes.
