WOW!

With everything to look through I definitely have to look and then come back to reassess how they could be used both in the classroom and personally. Twitter seems like a great way to connect with friends and relatives, and if when I finally find some teachers closer to my content it would be great to follow what they were doing. I tried the link to see educators on twitter, but found it tedious going through them alphabetically. Is there any way to sort by content?
DimDim would also seem like a great application to either chat with other classes, or even laboratory professors for students to see what higher level science consists of. DimDim also seems like a great way for collaboration among colleagues.

I like and have used survey monkey in the past. It is easy to use, both taking and creating surveys. The stopwatch would be a great tool for lab clean up, group worktime, and switching lab stations.

The screencast-o-matic seems like a fantastic tool in the science room for demonstrations and lab work. I feel though I would need to work with this more in order to mast my skills with it. :)

I must admit with everything I have been looking into i haven't had much time to work with the aggregator. I have played with it a little bit and see great potential not only for resource article for my self, but for differentiated articles I could use in the classroom with students of different reading levels.

The new things we are being exposed to are amazing, while I can't wait to learn more, I must admit sometimes it is is hard not to become overwhelmed. Thats when I decide it's time to close the computer for a little bit.
