http://karenshomeontherange.blogspot.com/2010/11/thing-19.html
Karen's Home on the Range. Sunday, November 14, 2010. I found the Web 2.0 Awards list rather interesting. I expected to see Google Maps in the number one slot for maps, but I was a little surprised to see Twitter over Facebook. Everyone I know uses Facebook! A few other number one observations:. Photos and digital images: Flickr - I thought this site was hard to navigate. I didn't attempt to search through Picnik and Picasa - I hope those two are not even more difficult!

Karen's Home on the Range: Thing 11
http://karenshomeontherange.blogspot.com/2010/11/thing-11.html
Karen's Home on the Range. Saturday, November 13, 2010. I spent some time exploring LibraryThing, in which users are able to create their own book list of favorite titles. Will always be the first book I list as a favorite - I won't even allow another book to take the place of that all-time-favorite of mine. However, there are quite a bit of books that come in second place, in my opinion. Most of those are picture books:. Tuesday, If I Built a Car, The Polar Express,. Just to name a few. And 14,769 for.

Karen's Home on the Range. Monday, November 15, 2010. I can see where Ning would have some benefits to educators, especially since everyone involved with the site have the same interests.
