Thing 2: RSS and Blogging

Well, I did it! I actually got to sit down and do thing 2. I have already enjoyed reading blogs on various topics of interest before this class started, and I have commented on them. I have never used RSS Reader, and while there are so many cool features, I am a bit overwhelmed at all the options. I can see how this tool can be useful, especially if you start getting into all these blogs. There are so blogs out there on any topic that you can think of.

I have started to read more of my MILI classmates blogs, and I learn a lot from each one. I am interested in setting up either a wiki or a blog for History Day starting in 2nd quarter. I think this would help students be more responsible for their research and would let me see more of what they are thinking about the project.

I will definately have to keep playing with all these new tools! As I get more comfortable with RSS reader I could see it as a nice organizational tool for blogs that I am interested in looking at frequently.
