Module 10 wiki ... wacky ... do!

giddy-up - chilliprawn has been accelerated to the last module ... wikis!
you see, I saw Fran-An's sensational wiki on her blog and felt inspired to jump on board & create a wiki too. 
Wikispaces explains that "All you need is a place for yourself, your classroom, your project. Create an account on wikispaces.com and get the wiki that's right for you" ... Teachers and students can create a free classroom wiki! Edit, write and save - it's that simple.

here's my attempt at wiki

chilli needs a break ... back soon

The Rocks Coffee Festival
Ok, chilliprawn is back on line - ceased being a tech head for a few hours but bounced back this arvo to load a new page on the wiki ... "Sydney is fun"  -  yes it is!  and so is WIKI !!!

Module 7



hello neighbour
chilliprawn has just ventured into the world of "delicious".  It's interesting so far ... have created account http://www.delicious.com/chilliprawn/ , no surprises there!  chilli has been busy adding buttons to the toolbar, exporting & importing bookmarks then tagging them.  Remember to **Cut & Paste** the url address ... soooo important!

Bubbles = one of my favourite drinks to celebrate special occasions.  More on that later...

bubbl.us = one of my favourite brainstorming and mind-mapping tools.  However, the editing & sharing options were broken on bubbl.us today.  
Therefore, I have saved my mind map as a jpeg image ...


dear rain ...


Flipper - he's so cool

 yessss ... you did!

Module 5

Awesome.  Love it.  Podcasts - it's official ... I'm hooked.  Never miss a thing anymore - downloading and subscribing to podcasts is the answer!  I have successfully downloaded ABC Radio's Richard Fidler 'Conversations' through iTunes on my pc.  This was an excellent introduction to podcasts.  I have also learnt how to access podcasts on my iPhone.  My son is currently creating a vodcast for a high school HSIE assignment - I can't wait to see the finished product.  Number 1 son may soon prove to be my greatest podcasting asset now!

enough is enough - dry your tears princess chilliprawn ...

That's right ... it's time to get on with Module 5.
Term 4 is here and Week 1 was a tad busy - I know - so was everyone's! 
However, chilliprawn needs to push through the excitement of the past week's swimming lessons, social stories, lectures at Mt Druitt and the dreaded assignments and just get on with it.
Is chilliprawn's mandatory Week 1 headache and sore throat going to impede the intention of tackling Module 5? It better be fantabulous because today is Sunday !! all day !! it's the day of rest !!  Coffee first.

ok, am officially lonely ... in need of reactions ... h e l p

I thought the idea of 'blogging' in cyber space was to encounter a two way process.  Sad as it is, I'm already feeling very lonely in this big cavernous non-touchy/feely technological digital environment .... get over it you say?  don't be so self centered?  what a sook!!  Today is module5 day, but a pinot gris at the sailing club a little later is looking more attractive right now!!  Real people - yessss. 
what's a chilliprawn gotta do to get a comment or a reaction around here .... hmmm ?  As they say - "where's the love?"
