Week Two (3, 5, 7)

Pg 45 "How can a teacher expect her student to blog (or use any other tool, strategy, or technique) if she doesn't use it herself, exploring the impact it has on her thinking writing, research and creativity?"
I definetly agree with this quote from chapter 3. If a teacher doesn't use or fully understand the materials that she expects her student's to use then she shouldn't require the students to use them. Understanding the resources you require of your students is also a major requirement I think teachers should have. If you don't know about the things you require your student's to use then you shouldn't even suggest them to your students.

RSS sounds like a great resource to use for a class that is relying on technology. I love the idea of being able to see the important information from websites without the hassle of all the junk mail and spam that comes with signing up for information.

Pg 104 Flickr allows you to annotate certain parts of a picture and also provides a way for people to discuss teh picture in detail.
I love looking and people's pictures and putting my pictures on my camera so I can't wait to learn about Flickr! Reading about how you can annotate your pictures so that people can click on the specific parts of the picture to learn about it is something I'm really interested in learning about. It's unbelievable the amount of things there are out there on the web that you can use.
