I'll be posting links to creative projects on the 52 Projects Facebook page. I've been having fun on tumblr and twitter, why not join the Facebook party (where everyone seems to be spending their online time these days - so much so that even Google is worried.). I used to post more links here on the site, but it just makes more sense to post them into the social networks. It's less about blogs these days, and more about wall posts and feeds. I get it. * Share/Bookmark

The time is finally here for my annual list of favorite sites of the year. This year, I decided to up my post to the top 100 instead of 25 due to the number of sites that I reviewed and due to the popularity of the post. I tried to cover a wide range of sites, from flash card creators to digital storytelling and of course, social networks, which really shined in 2011. I hope everybody enjoys the read and has as much fun reading it as I did creating it!

I am a teacher from just north of Calgary, Canada. My joy (aside from my wonderful family) is creating opportunities for students and teachers to learn in engaging and creative ways.

"If you want proof social media technologies can transform lives, look no further than 6th grader Greyson Chance of Edmond, Oklahoma. Two weeks ago Greyson's father used a hand-held camera to record his son's piano and vocal performance of Lady Gaga's song, "Paparazzi" at a local church. The video went viral within 2 days of its posting on YouTube, with over 1.5 million hits in the first 48 hours. Currently the video has over 11.9 million views, but that number does not include NUMEROUS copies which have been posted by others seeking a moment of YouTube fame from the web searches for "Greyson Lady Gaga Ellen" and similar search engine queries."

So please remember: These are not proven success steps to be a blogging school but my ideas might help you generate your own. At the end of this academic year, I will write another blog post and evaluate the success of the way I followed."

"Instagram updated its privacy policy and terms of service on Monday, which sent many users running for the exits. A change to the photo service's legal jargon makes it clear that Instagram can take users' photos and use them in advertising campaigns with the company's ad partners. It's exactly the sort of thing many users feared might happen in the wake of Instagram's purchase by Facebook earlier this year. After all, Facebook's Sponsored Posts already feature user content. "
