George Carlin


Week 2: RSS Reflection

What did you learn?
-- I learned to sign up to the Google Reader. I see the convenience of monitoring new posts to many blogs, but I see the inconvenience as well. Sometimes I don't want to subscribe to someone else's minutia.
How will you use what you have learned?
-- I think I'll title my posts more accurately so that others can sort the content form the mental meanderings. I will definitely encourage my class parents to subscribe so there can be fewer claims that they didn't know something was happening in class.
How did you feel about this tool?
-- Mixed. I like not wasting time checking blogs that haven't been updated, but I'm not wild about feeling like I'm getting an overload of mail. Of course in the real world you don't subscribe to 20 blogs all answering the same questions!!!
What do you not want to forget about this tool?
--To recommend it, and how to add subscriptions.
How can this be used in the classroom or in your educational role?
--Parent information, also I created a blog for a committee that I hope the whole staff will use to add anecdotal information good and bad about the new behavior management program.

Should you use this in the classroom or your educational role?
--Yup
What questions do you still have about this tool?
-- You know I feel kind of stupid but I can't get the reader icon on my google tool bar or add it to my igoogle page. I always go into "my account".
