Session 3 Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

Loved del.icio.us! If today had not been such a challenge- issues with teenage son (now I really know why tigers eat their young-and I feel like a tiger...lol), school, and computers in the lab not working for over an hour, I would have enjoyed more. Can't wait for some down time to play more!

Here's to the next class and computers that behave.

Session 2: RSS & Newsreaders

Wow! Tonight we learned about news feeders and RSS feeds. I frequently go to different news sites, but these will deliver the news right to you. The only problem--more emails! I blogs-first selected a group or three (you can select by subject) then realized I would get tons of these to my school email. I decided to limit these feeds on this blog, but will add them to my home blog.

We also added websites to our blogs. One of my favorite is: http://foodnetwork.com. Another is: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/bizarre. The recipes here are really not bizarre, but you can find interesting and useful
recipes.

Today I had my first of 6 Web 2.0 Academy classes. Whoo Hoo! I intend to learn all types of new web and techie applications. Then I'll be "styling on the web" lol!

All this as I teach summer school Reading to 15 3rd graders. Wish me luck!

At the end, hopefully I'll be able to use many applications throughout my life, although I'm not sure you could call me "Goddess of the Web" at that point. :)
