Thing 7 RSS Really Simple Syndication

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

I like that I can select what I want to see, not what Yahoo or MSN or other sites put there.

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your school or personal life?

I think it can help me find things that interest me, or that I could use professionally faster. Time is precious.

How can educators use RSS or take advantage of this technology with their students?
You can zero them in fast. Get what information to them you want them to have.
Then you become the one controlling what they get. LOL. However if it is for a specific class it helps them focus on what you feel is important.

Thing 6 Bloggin the day away

I am finding that the more I know, the more I don't know. It is overwhelming at times to get out there and see all the possibilites. But then I see opportunities...
Just when I think I have a handle on a concept or a way to use the technology, I am bombarded with it or something similiar to it, OR something BETTER than it.
I think I may be a speed bump on the information super highway....

Thing 5 Mashing it up

There are a lot of possibilities with this site and uploading personal as well as stock photos.
