Because I have nothing better to do

Well spring break has been fun.. not. Ive been working on all my projects for my classes and doing observations at one of the elementary schools here. The one project that is taking me forever is my children's literature database. BUT THANK GOD FOR DELICIOUS! Delicious seriously is a life saver and more importantly a time saver. Though, Im still not done with my data base, it has saved me ample amounts of time at the public library (though the other day i was there for 6 hours). Instead of searching about the internet for awesome resources that I found to help me, I just clicked My Delicious at the top of my web browser and just opened up all the sites in a new tab. I know Ive written about the bookmarking project already, but I am just so darn thankful for it and I know it will be something that I take from this class and apply into the real world.

Web page problems

I am using bravenet for my web page project. I started out liking it to its uttmost entirety. Now, I hate it. To build a website, I couldnt figure out how to use the template that I chose from my favorites. The templates that they offered in the website wizard were so minimal that it was hard to choose one. You cannot move any of the modules around. Instead, they have three layouts to choose from. Another feature that I do not like about it is the fact that when you open the window to full screen, it doesnt use the entire page. Instead, it looks like the text box I am typing in which doesnt span the full length of the page. It's fairly annoying.

It also wont let me post pictures wherever I want. I just do not like or recommend this site to build a website to any one. But do as you will, more power to you.

Third Post

I am loving this social bookmarking project. Having all my favorite sites in one spot and available with the click of a mouse is so convenient. As an education major, we use so many different resources that are available online. Having them all on one site is magestic because it is faster access in the classroom so you are not taking so long to load up everything AND keeping your kids on track. Its just awesome and something that I will be using after this class is over.
