Here is the link to the wiki for my computer applications (beginning) class. You may want to look at it at home because this is the one with the YouTube video included and it will not load on the school network: http://computerappsclass.wetpaint.com/ (Obviously, if I were really going to use it next year, I would need a different beginning video!!)

Here's a great site that can help bring extended families together. http://www.myfamily.com/Welcome/Testimonials.aspx is a place where you can put stay in touch, upload pictures and it looked like a great site!

Here are a few phenomenal sites. If you are on a diet check out http://foodfeed.us/. You can track what you eat and share with others to help keep you accountable or give you advice.  If you feel like being an author explore http://beta.tikatok.net/. Fun for everyone! For those who are as data driven go to http://www.policymap.com/customers.html and input all of your test scores, etc… to develop charts, graphs, or presentations.

One of the problems with RSS is the overwhelming volume of info that comes in daily. So, I've been looking for ways to FILTER all that stuff. One tool that I'm going to try is [|FilterMyRss]. **[|FilterMyRSS]** is a simple feed filter to sort out the unwanted information from an XML or RSS feed and provide only the information which is relevant to you. There are several ways to use the feed filter. //For example//, you may filter a feed based on the “**description**” which is the body of a feed article; the “**title**” text which is exactly that, the title of the feed article; or the “**category**” of a feed article, which is the category an author choses for the content topic (however the category is often abused). To find out more about using the RSS filter please visit the [|FAQ] page. Thanks for a good class. Mike Britt

22books: Create and share booklists. Blog idea for a Media 21 media center. Perhaps creating one just for students to create and share a list of their favorite books or maintain a list of books they have read during their high school career.
