Thing 5

I subscribed to a few blogs, a few new and a few old favs. I have been following Matt Logelin and a few other single parents for over a year now. But I decided to look for some education blogs. I was a little disappointed in my searches - most are techie blogs. In hindsight, I suppose this isn't surprising. I have heard about a few teachers across the country who have lost their jobs because of their blogs. But I did find a few that look interesting, and it is now my mission to find more.

I don't think that this world of RSS feeds are difficult or confusing. It is merely a way to stay informed. I am wondering, though, if I will be able to check my Bloglines account from a school computer? One of the blogs has some photo writing prompts I would like to use in the classroom...

Thing 4

Finally, a new Thing. I was starting to worry about finishing this course!

Well, I signed up for Bloglines. I am not sure why we are using this site instead of Google Reader, since we had to get Google accounts to start the course. But oh well.

I am hoping that this account does make my interweb life less chaotic. I do follow several blogs, and just being able to check one spot to get all updates seems like a great idea.
