#9 Feeds

I found it much easier to simply look for the feed icon and click on it. I think the most beneficial part about thing number 8 and 9 is now I know what that little icon is for! I would love more time to sit down and look and all of the different sites that are available. Sometimes I felt very overwhelmed. Very cool though!

#8 Bloglines

I wasn't able to get Bloglines to email me a verification. I'll keep trying. However, I do think that it would be an excellent tool to use for my personal life. I get inundated with so much information and having a tool to filter out all of the "stuff" would be very refreshing. As for my kids at school, I'm not too sure. I teach third grade and at this level it would be too much for them to filter through all of the information, even though it is an rss! I will be checking other blogs to see how other teachers are going to use this very cool technology in their classrooms! Maybe I'll get some ideas.

Thing #6-Blog about Technology

You can't live with it, but you can't live without it. Recently, I took my class into the computer lab to work on some math problems using an on line math program. Once I showed them what I wanted them to do, they all started to log in at the same time. Well, over half the class had their computer freeze up on them. Finally, I decided to have each row log in one at a time so the server could keep up. Once we were all on line the math site was fantastic and well worth the wait!

Thing #6-More Flicker Fun

My creation on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Yea! Flickr

I finally got my picture to link to my blog. Lots of trial and error. I think I had 8 things open at once. Anyway I did it and look forward to doing more.
