Thing #10

I know i can be somewhat of a cynic when it comes to technology, and it's no secret that I abhor sitting at a computer for more than 10-15 minutes, but I must admit that this assignment was meant for people like me, and I like it. Anything that cuts down on my time here, at this very keyboard, is a plus in my book. The key words are Really Simple Syndication.

I appreciate the efficiency and ease with which it works. This will be great in the classroom, once I find a few bloggers that teach the same subject matter I do. I'm always up for new ideas...I just don't like to wade through a lot of useless garbage to get there. Google Reader cuts out the useless garbage! I found it very simple (Really Simple) to use (thank goodness) and I've subscribed to 6 blogs. (5 from class and also my crazy cousin's that lives in California.) This is most definitely something I will share with my department at school because I know other teachers will be interested as well.

As far as the optional part of this assignment goes, it's safe to say I'm not up to the challenge. This class had made me cry twice today, and multiple times in the past several weeks as well. Actually, some might say the second incident today could be classified as an "emotional breakdown" when the computer locked up and I lost all my work, but there were no witnesses, so I'm sticking with crying. It sounds more professional.
