Platypi are my favorites! I love how unique they are. When I think of them, I smile! This photo was the most unique and he is smiling for the camera!

RSS can be a difficult concept for some to grasp right away - what questions do you have? It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there - how do you handle information overload and how do you think RSS might help with that? Find anything in your searching that you'd recommend to others?
Yes, there is soooo much information out there. Honestly, I'm not sure RSS will help me with information overload. Right now, I'm feeling like it's a contributor. I think I may have to delete some of the blogs I added already. I like several of them that I'll keep. The biggest question we have is can we delete posts we have read from our google reader list? I like The Times "Learning Network" blog.

How might you use RSS in your personal or professional life? Which method of subscribing do you prefer? What didn't work or doesn't make sense?

I like the idea of following blogs and getting updates, I just wish that my favorite websites were included in the options instead of just blogs. Unless I'm missing something...? I like clicking the button that says subscribe. Simple and timesaving... este muy importante!

Blogs are very useful. There are more setting/tools now than there were when I first learned about them, and so many teachers have done awesome work on them. I love the collaboration. I'm moving on to more things...

Technology is how our students think. Tech tools provide opportunities for our students to practice and learn about the skills employers really want, 21st century skills: collaboration, publishing, creating, problem solving. They need to be able to ask good questions and find the answer! Because the options for products are so various and involve tools they want to learn, student engagement soars. Yep, it makes sense to me. I want to make a podcast! I don't know if that's on the list???
