Thing 11

Review the widget you selected. Are you getting comfortable with embedding code? How can widgets enhance your instructional practices?

Exploring the widgets was really a lot of fun! Of course, I spent way too much time looking at all of the fun things especially in Google gadgets and Widgetbox and changed my widget several times before settling on the fishtank. These can really be used on a webpage to generate interest and grab attention much as the different sounds, entrances, and exits on PowerPoint slides do, but in a more sophisticated way. Copying the code and embedding the widgets on the blog is really easy. Even I can do it!
