Weebly

Poor neglected blog!  I apologize for not getting more goodies up sooner.

Today we have Weebly!

Weebly is a great way to create a site and get free hosting online.  It's simple and easy to use, but don't let that fool you - it's also quite powerful!

Take a look!

Hulu

Hulu

Ok, I know.  You're thinking this isn't educationally related.  Just for fun, huh...  

But wait a minute!  We're talking about educating with technology.  Ever want your students to watch a great movie about history, but couldn't take class time and realize asking them all to rent it was an impossibility?  Have them watch it on Hulu!  Go to the History channel on Hulu and see what all they have available!  It's mind-boggling...

Assign your students some Hulu and see at least a few happy campers!

Prepping for the New School Year

This year I have a new list of things I'm going to try and implement.  I also have a list of things I'm going to try and avoid!

Implement:

1. Touch things 1 time and deal with them adequately!

2. Improve my filing system for hard copies of important documents.

3. Weed through the ridiculous amount of books and part with some of them regardless of my emotional attachment!

4. Stop procrastinating on tasks I hate - by doing them first!

5. Be willing to give up a system, book, project, software, method, etc. that is not working for me before wasting vast amounts of time!

Avoid:

1. Making careless mistakes by rushing too much - ok....baby steps here - be more careful!

2. Use my time more wisely by using GTD strategies that work and simply life.

3. The phone....   Need I say more?

4. The television - at least during the day!

5. People who frustrate me or waste my time on things that don't really matter.

Well, it all sounds great.  The question is.....  Will I do it?  I'm definitely going to try!

This slick little service allows you track tasks and projects and sync them.  It works well with other apps, especially GMail.  It's still in Beta so expect occasional issues and updates.  It's a handy little app for quickly entering or retrieving a to do list.  

Some of the things you can use it for include google calendars, you can twitter a message to it, email it, voice mail, etc.
