It is interesting going to the differenct search tools. They will searching the internet easier. Also, it is cool to see what everyone else has been reading on the internet when I browse through Topix.nex. I was glad to be reintroduce to Atomic Learning. Normally, I just plunder my way through a program. Going through the blog pages and reviewing the news read, will enhance my lesson planning.

Of course, I got my THINGS out of order trying to spend every free moment that I have.

My summer has been hectic with the teaching of summer school, moving into a new house and trying to organize activites on the weekend so that it would feel like I had a summer break. Due to this, I was not able to complete my assignments. However, I plan to attempt competion regardless to the credits. I enjoyed the cartoons. They will make pleasant additions to my flipcharts and powerpoint persentation.

Since I usually log-on in the school district home page, I will need to make an adjustment to to maintain my Google Reader page. I knew nothing about RSS, but have notice this technique while observing my son use his computer. I must admit that it was easy after I got over my fear of messing up.

In my personal life, it will help me keep current with my many interest. It will also keep me abreast of upcoming activities and new thoughts and ideas, especially those concerning family reunions.

In the libraries, if a student were working on a particular project or assignment, by using RSS it will speed up the search process and give the students the most recent articles written or researched.

As for my new Google Reader, our family is planning another family reunion. Using and sharing what we learn will foster new ideas. Looking forward to the research!
