Summertime means many things to many people, but I daresay that it means the most to teachers.

I, for one, can’t wait to do may of the things that most of you will be doing — sleeping in just a little later, catching up on leisure reading, getting my house back under control, taking the kids on daytrips to our favorite spots.

However, like so many other die hard ed techies out there, I’ll be splashing around with new Web 2.0 tools and trying out apps that I just never seem to get to during the school year. I stuck my toe in the water with Diigo, but have I really explored all that it can do? I can’t wait to tap into my Twitter network to learn more about this. (I’m sure someone tweeted two weeks ago that they were developing a tutorial!)

But first I have to come clean and say that I haven’t yet explored a couple of the most basic spaces on the web that I should have, by now.

So, in this order, I hereby resolve to immerse myself fully (in the shallow end!) of MySpace, Facebook, and SecondLife. (A audible roar from the DEN STAR educators… I swear I heard it!)

Please put on your lifeguard gear. I fully expect that you’ll be there when I gurgle, “HELP! HElp. hel……”
