Absorption and Dausing

Absorption is my soaking up of technology resources available to educators. Dausing is my, Kerry Daus', dousing others with information that I have learned. This is my blog, my sponge, to post information about my learning and sharing with colleagues about technology tools to use in the classroom.
Some web 2.0 resources that I have used are:
http://www.glogster.com/ - online poster creator- awesome to add video and audio
http://www.voicethread.com/ - a collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images
http://www.jing.com/ - free program download to capture anything you see on your computer screen and share it instantly!
http://www.xtranormal.com - text-to-movie website
http://www.yammer.com/ - workplace twitter- online collaboration!
