I made it through the weekend and am back in the land of teens. I clicked on the Module and was initially confused by the Google Reader. I did everything right, but I guess I just expected something different. Seems a bit busy.
I made the RSS feed to my blog. That was simply. I have subscribed to my blog on Google Reader. I have subscribed to some other sites on the reader as well. There is a cool site about web 2.0 tools in education Steve Hargadon is the author. He discusses how we must learn to look at our children differently because of their exposure to tech. This weekend I also purchased the book Born Digital - Understanding the first generation of Digital Natives. The book is written by John Palfrey. Search him for ideas.
On a personal note, I subscribed to some mushroom hunting blogs as well. It's Morel Season.
I am a bit overwhelmed by the size and scope of what one can do in this world of blogging and such.

Glad you had such a nice weekend! I hope you might give us a book review when you are finished. I have heard about this book and hope to pick it up for some summer reading.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you that the Google reader is crowded. You might (when class is over)want to check out Netvibes. This is very similar in purpose but much more user friendly I think. You can arrange the page as you like. You can also have it as a home page or open when you go on line.
Andy, on a personal interest note, can you hunt morel mushrooms around here? We used to have lots in MO - usually around Mother's Day. Unfortunately, after years and years of eating them, I have apparently become allergic to them and can no longer enjoy them. But my family would still love to have me find some for them. Diane
