Thing #6 - Feed your reader: find & subscribe to feeds

I have heard it said by others who have taken this class that the further into the class the more fascinating these Things can be. I am beginning to understand the comment. I am no where close to where I want to be, but I am learning. I still get frustrated when I have a few minutes to work on the Things and it seems that the entire world is using all the band space. At that point I will shut it down and do something else.

As I read blogs from others such as http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/, http://elearningtech.blogspot.com/, etc, the things that I continue to read include comments like paperwork frustration, and latest technology. These comments fall in line with the “Going Green” theme of today. I chuckled at one comment that read something like get rid of the school boards. However, as we continue to move into the 21st century we will find many things we can “get rid of” by replacing them with a higher level of efficiency.

Online education is the way to go. It is amazing to me the vast array of reference material (including fun things) that is online and updated frequently during the day.

I really like http://www.livemocha.com/pages/resources/education-blog-list. The list includes so many Education Blog Lists to choose from.

  2. I am with you on the fact that the deeper we get into this class, the more we seem to be introduced to! I had no idea about many of these things and I am glad to learn about them!
