wiki, linkedIn, twitter, converting to PDF

I have learned a few new skills in the past few months I forgot to mention in my last post.

First, I found out how easy it was to convert word files into PDFs. You just use a website from a google search. Takes like 5 min.

In Prof. Ferree's class, we learned how to make/use a wiki. While I didnt practice with it much and don't see much of a difference from a google doc (besides having many pages within the wiki), I want to keep working with them a little over break bc wikis are popular and useful.

Also, I have been using twitter more lately, but just from the perspective as a reader. I try to get on once a week but that sometimes doesnt happen. I am follower to a few educators tweets. But my next goal with twitter is to learn how to have conversations with people...you type in like @smith or whatever the person's name is...I think that's all but not positive.

Also, I have been using LinkedIn, which is a networking/job site where you post resume and profile of yourself and you link yourself to contacts and you can write people recomendations and people can look at your profile and jobs can search you and check you out. Pretty cool.

Next batch of things I want to learn: how to convert youtube files to regular ones so I could use them in a school if I wanted..I know there is some site out there that does it.
In addition, here are some more things I wanna do with technology in the weeks that come:
-work with that site where you can teach ppl languages and they can you
-i want to find some good education blogs and podcasts
-want to find a site where I could make a newsletter pretty easily
-want to learn some digital art stuff (photoshop, etc) that I could possibly use with students
-I want to work on my google site
