Thing 7: Fun Online Tools!

Join.me  THANK GOODNESS!!!  Now when my mother calls me up from Florida and says "Suzy...what is that funny squiggly thing on my computer" I NOW can look and figure out what the (*explicative*) she is talking about!!!!   Instead of: (Mom) "Suzy...I can't see half of my screen" (Suzy) "Mom....I have no clue what you did this time" Now: (Suzy) "Well mom, you just have to move your window over to the middle of your screen"  Yes...it will be JUST that easy!!!  Woo-hooo!!!  This is GREAT for anyone who has a Mom or Dad who calls with computer issues!!!

Firefox Add ONs---I LOVE THESE!!  I found one that makes all the new "tabs" in Firefox come up a different color!  I LOVE that!

Zamzar looks awesome!  I just told my "techie" husband about it!  Now anytime I have the "new Word" vs. "Old Word (i.e. .doc vs. docx) it will change it for me!!!  Yippeee!!!

I can't wait to show my 5th grade teachers popplet!  It might be something we try next year when brainstorming ideas with the kids!


This was an overwhelming but really useful week!!!
