Thing #8 Week #4

Working with the RSS feeds proved to be a bit more difficult than I imagined. Mainly because I was REALLY trying to get around creating another account through blogline. It's not that I don't or can't create an account. It's just that I'm soo tired of having to create accounts/ passwords. Remembering them! That's the true test.

Initially, I only wanted to work with my google account and use the google reader option. I was pretty successful but as I kept digging - I found that many of sites/feeds work with blogline instead. After I created a blogline account, things were pretty smooth. I played around with a couple feeds on news, quotes and fun things like pictures. I have added a couple of the sites that I liked to my blog so that you might enjoy too.

I also read up on Googlegears and I was really impressed. I can see that many of the teachers in our district would be interested in this. I can see that teachers / students who don't have access to internet at home could use it. I haven't played around with it myself, but the article sold me. I'm hoping to look into it when I get back to work.
