TappedIn

I joined TappedIn and was immediately given a welcome and guidance at the reception desk. I creted an office and checked the calendar. Since there weren't any Social Studies Forums any Time soon, I explored a few other places.

Last night, I joined the Social Studies Forum. It was nice to "see" that Mike, Ciro, and Maggie were there also. Things started out slowly as introductions were made. There was a great deal of lighthearted banter. I quickly frustrated due to the fact that I was behind on my assignments, and I really needed to get some work done. We received some invaluable website information but it took one hour for me to get a listing of 4 websites. A list would have taken 20 seconds.

I am not that quickly deterred, so I won't give up. I certainly will give TappedIn another try.

The websites shared:

http://www.ourmedia.org
http://www.educationalsimulations.com/
...the first is an audio/video storage sharing site... the second is a software where students may live a life from birth to death in any country.
