RSS

I like this more to monitor students than to get news. I am already overwhelmed by email every day - this could become a nuisance. I need to learn more.

It looked like you might be able to filter the content. So on NPR you could filter to receive only education-related information, or stories about Minnesota or California.

But now it is time to move on to the next thing.

Thing 2

I have read a few of the articles recommended for this section, but after about six hours, I had to quit and move on. Ann said it would only take 15 minutes per thing!

The potential for Web 2.0 is tremendous and I want to be able to offer ideas to my staff - and then reality sets in and I find google images blocked, "web communication" blocked, blogspot blocked!

Good news came in an email on Thursday - two blog sites for education and the school filter does not block them. Hurrah! This is where I will begin.

Anyone having luck getting Web 2.0 sites unblocked?
