I don't want to go as far as to say that I liked the homework for this week, but I did. I really enjoyed the information and lessons that were assigned. Chapter 5 and the RSS feeds was great. I was excited to start using my own account on google reader. The book was correct because it is addicting. I find myself checking my RSS feeds often. I especially like using the reader on Fridays. What a great resource for my social studies classes today. We were doing current events and I would flip back and fourth from my reader, to CNN. I have CNN on my RSS, so we would read the latest news, then go to CNN and watch the video clips that went with the article. It worked perfect and saved me a great deal of time. I also set up some "personal" non educational feeds as well. I'm a huge advocate for rescuing animals and the humane treatment of animals in shelters. What can I say I love dogs! (no.... I'm not a PETA person....I don't want you guys to form any crazy theories of me...hahaha) Anyway, it was nice to see what was going on at some of the Pitbull shelters I like to follow. I didn't have to search, it came right to me.
I'm really excited about my flicker account as well. I think my mom is too! She has been waiting a long time to see the Hawaii pictures that I always seem to forget about. I think it's a great idea and I will definitely start posting all my pictures on there. I just need to get all my little discs out of my drawer and plug them into my computer!

Christy,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the RSS assignment. I still don't know the fall out from what I am learning. I'm ready to throw my TV away, 'cause there's never anything good on, I don't have the time and everything I want to know or watch is being brought to me by my aggregator. Who needs books, magazines or newspapers anymore? Wow, will I be "screwed" if a solar flare takes out the right satellite(s)!
