After exploring flickr toys - These are the places where I want to be: Tokyo, Chicago, San Francisco, Moscow. I would also like to take a ship cruise and see our Earth from space.
You can see Madagascar there - it is one of my favourite cartoons, I would like to audit a cartoon ))))
I like cinema very much, so anywhere one of teh best places for me is cinema house.
Cinque Terre , Italy. We are planning this trip for fall 2009. For now, these photos keep us alive and excited!
Ollie, my son, has just moved to Los Angeles. He has a job he loves and just rented a house in the exact area he had wanted to live, across from Griffith Park. I would love to be a fly on the wall and watch him work and see his new house. He graduated from Bard College in May '08 - he walks in grace.

I made the slides with Keynote (iWork08) and exported them as a Quicktime movie. The slides are in this set.
I "Hockneyized" one of the slides at Big Huge Labs.
All the photos are my own.

I'd like to spend my days looking for 100 shades of grey.

I actually want to be in Kirkby Lonsdale, England. The weather's pretty junky there right now, but it's a place I always love to go to. And I don't have any pictures, except those by other Flickr users which I have added to my favorites.
So I played with those Flickr Toys and made a mosaic of some recent favorite pics.
I also really liked the Magazine Cover tool:
The picture is my son, last July, splashing around. We found the pictures on an older digital camera a couple of weeks ago and I had not seen them before. Where I live, summers are generally glorious.
Finally, in August, a friend and I took my son to the tidepools in Santa Cruz, less than an hour from San Jose:

I also created a slideshow about where I want to be - professionally.
This reflection helped me visualize my own goals as an educator... teaching a new subject after 20 years in the science classroom. It is the same desire, within a different environment. Now I need to consider these web2.0 tools the environmental interface... the metaphor is beginning to connect.... for me..... now, for my students....
My slideshow is about my involvement in a research project in Yellowstone National Park for the past two summers. It is that authentic experience I want to capture now in my computer classroom. This workshop may be showing me how!

Here is my pic of where I want to be right now. It's a trail in the woods where the Berlin wall used to stand near Checkpoint Bravo (near the lake called Wannsee). I took this picture last summer and right now I'd love to be walking through here spying the odd wild boar and feeling the warm wind blow through my hair. Ahh....
I've been reading about different places other people want to be and making a list of my places for quite a long time: exotic beaches, my family, national parks, a few cities...
A quick look at my watch told me it's time to go to bed. In the morning I'll be with these young people and I think it's a nice place to be - it'll be fun.
