Thing 14 - Technorati

Even though the pages of Technorati are crowded and distracting, I wish I would have known about this site when I was working on Things 8 and 9. I found this site helpful when searching for blogs (something I had trouble doing when I was setting up my Google Reader.) When searching School Library Learning 2.0 I did get different results. It was interesting.

I think tagging is a good feature. It helps you find information that is relevant to you. I do think it is better for users to add tags than for publishers to do it. It is more personal that way. Tags make it easier to search for information.

About Me

My photo
Is it possible for one person to be many things? First off, I am a wife. I married the most wonderful man in the world on January 17, 2009. His name is Victor. We are currently enjoying our time getting to know each other even more as husband and wife. I am a daughter. My parents have been happily married for 41 years. Their names are Cutberto and Esther. I am a sister. I have the most amazing pair of sisters. Their names are Maria and Minerva. I also have 3 brothers whose names are Ramiro, Cutberto, and Orlando. I am the youngest of the six! I am an aunt. I have 5 nephews and 5 nieces. I am a teacher. I teach 2nd grade and love it. I teach bilingual (Eng/Span) education, self-contained. Those kids can always make you smile! I am a student. In January 2009 I began the Masters in Library Science program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I am enjoying my classes very much. You wouldn't believe how much I have grown and learned in the past 6 months. Which brings me to my last "I am"... I am an aspiring librarian. I have always wanted to be one. I would like to find a job in the district that I work in now, but we shall see where God will take me!
