RSS Feeds

I have been having a grand ol' time with Delicious. I have multiple computers at the house (5 at this point) and having all of my bookmarks in one page is great. I have gotten over my "folder" complaint from last week.

RSS feeds are dangerous for me. I have to really be interested in what I link to or else I'll end up just ignoring all them. (That's what I do with my e-mail.) Listservs are also pretty bad for me. I just don't have the time to go through them all. I found that most of the time, I only want a RSS feed when it is someone that I know personally.

I have been trying to get a RSS feed for my classroom material - especially my video reviews, blog updates, and podcasts, so Google reader seems pretty easy to use.

Update!

Argh!

My IE just crashed and I lost all of my work (with this blog and my EduBlog)!

I have had a delicious account, but I've never really used it, because I don't visually appealing. I like to use folders, and the tags drive me nuts. I think this would be really great for someone just starting out, but when I imported all of my bookmarks, I was overwhelmed and cranky when I realized that I'd have to add tags to all of those links. I had almost 200. No way Jose'!

Eh. I'll give it the ol' college try. It really would help with my school computer when I have to reimage. Here I go!

My delicious user name is lochnessa78 if anyone wants to go browse my bookmarks. These are just the bookmarks from my house, so expect more school and technology links to show up once I purge my laptop.

Honestly, I'm glad I gave Delicious another try - this really can help out with a lot of things. I always get frustrated because I want an easy way to share links with my students, and I think that this might be it. Granted, I think I'll start a teacher account so that it's ONLY educations stuff (I have two of everything to protect myself). This will be easier than posting links over and over again each year for Beowulf.

Audio not supported?

Just tried to upload some audio files of my students' podcasts, but it looks like they are not supported in Blogger.

Can you upload audio?

Some Neat Stuff

This is all of the cool equipment that I won with my grant. It intimidates me.




This was a video that I created in a VERY short time with Photostory when I was out of the classroom. Please ignore my rough audio. This was one of the first ones that did last year.

My Goals

My goals for this course are to learn and share information about technology in the classroom. I have been teaching at a 1:1 campus for three years now, and am currently blogging, using wikis, podcasting, and creating videos in my class. I want to learn Flash animation to help create instructional videos for my classes, but I plan on using AL for that. :)

Podcasting

My podcast blog is www.kleinpod.edublogs.org.

Check it out! I update as much as I can, which isn't too often since I am about to start my internship.
