Week 4 Thing 9 Classroom and Library Blogs

I visited several of the search tools and also award-winning blogs. Found an interesting one composed by a second grade class and their teacher about a duck egg laid on the school's playground. I think it's easiest for me for the moment to just visit favorite sites of mine and click on their subcribe to RSS feed buttons.

Not a Thing

I know this isn't a Classroom "thing", but I wanted to share my beautiful kitty - Arwen.

Week 4 Thing 8 RSS Feeds

I feel like I am just skimming the top of the barrel in learning about all this technological "stuff"! There is so much information out there. So much that is totally alien to me, but I am determined to conquer some of it and learn to utilize it in my work. It may not be until next year, after I've had a summer to play with it, but it will happen. My goal is to create a classroom blog, or wiki and incorporate RSS feeds into them once I have a better handle on all of it. I can see that this would be highly motivating to today's students. Who knows, maybe I'll break down and get an ipod and learn how to podcast. Bet I'd be able to get students' attention then.
