SBISD has NO plans to have a 2011 Summer session.
Welcome to more play. We have moved from the playground to the beach for a wider array of tools with which to play. The premise is the same. This blog outlines some activities designed to expose you to some tools, but the learning comes from your playing with the tools and reflecting in your blog how the tools can be used in education. We make no apologies that we approach all these tools from a Library perspective. We believe the Library is a big classroom connected to specific objectives in the classroom much like the water of the seas are connected to the beaches of the world.
11.5 More Things is an extension of the 23 Things you played at Library2Play. Whereas Library2Play was an introduction and overview to current web 2.0 and tools for student product creation, 11.5 More Things or Library2Play 2 is more applications of some of the more powerful cloud computing tools implied from the 23 Things. You NEED to create samples of many of the Things to be on application level.
Be sure to remember what you learned with 23 Things as you play with 11.5 More Things including commenting on other players blogs. See what they have learned in their play.
We have picked 11.5 More Things to learn that we think will be most useful in helping our students create and communicate their new learning. Many more new things exist that are not covered here. We have listed others at the More More Things Page. During the process or after you finish, be sure to explore the More More Things.

From 23 Things we know that managing passwords can be difficult. You might want to consider a free account with a password managing website. One discussed on LM_NET (a national school Librarian listserv) was http://www.passpack.com/en/home/. Others can be found by doing a Google search on password manager.
