Useful Web 2.0 tools

I love Alan Levine...and we've never met. I have admired his work while he was at Maricopa Community College, and his CogDogBlog was, and is, one of my favorites. Today, I finally took advantage of his Multipost Bookmarklet Tool, and it's sitting up there in my toolbar.

And then when I realized that he is now workingwith Second Life, I was (am) surprised again, at the sometimes synchronicity of things. A long time ago I discovered Second Life but never did anything with it. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago when a student (thanks, Amy :-) told me of her activity in SL that I was prompted to go back in to SL and poke around.

Three hours after I first logged in I was still playing with my avatar's appearance, and my partner was beginning to feel just a bit slighted. Oooh, SL clearly has the possibility of sucking me in in a very time-consuming way. Anyway, the news about the NMC SL Campus Opening has caught my fancy. This is one topic that I want to put on a watch list. Stay tuned.
