RSS & Newsreaders

Week #4; Things 8 and 9

Really enjoyed learning about RSS feeds and setting up a newsreader account. Subscribed to CNN news, Librarian's internet, Tech Dirt (so I can learn even more) and Wordsmith. I have been trying for two weeks to get my bloglines to appear on my blog. Finally gave up. If anyone can help me in a few easy steps, I would appreciate the help! Right now I just have them on my desktop so I can check them everyday.

Week #3; Thing #7

If you haven't had time already, check out Ann's (Tech Busy) link to Kathy Schrock's Guide For Educators at Discovery School. I perused many of the links and tried out some new tools for teachers that I was not familiar with. I particularly liked http://www.netvibes.com/. At this site, you can create your own home page with your favorite information. Also found some amusing clip art like the mouse on this page at http://discoveryschool.com/. I often feel just like this mouse! Discovery School will let you download 10 images for free.

Stumbled across a site with quotations while making my motivational poster for Flickr http://quotedump.net/-- it really has some good ones.

Week #3

Things 5 and 6

I have spent the last couple of weeks exploring Flickr and all the fun things you can do. I finally managed to create this poster of my cat using Big Huge Labs. Having a little trouble retrieving some photos that were emailed to me -- when I try to open the file, it immediately opens Flickr but my pictures aren't there. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
