Thing 2

As you can see, the past 3 days I have been really into this blogging thing!  I know the whole world is doing it- at least all the 20-somethings I used to be about 1/2 my life ago.  But who the heck cares what I have to say?  I guess even if no one ever reads it- it helps me with my thought process and keeps me honorable to Mili- right?

So- yeah- in answer to all the questions I am all about blogging in class.  Obviously for most of the students it seemed to be the hip happenin' thing to do.  For some- I know I wouldn't reach if I started to do cartwheels in Anwatin's courtyard.  My only concern is what happens to those few students who don't have internet access at home?  What happens when the teachers get mad at me because I am always signed up in the computer lab with my classes because I think it' a valuable tool?  It's like I am caught between a rock and a hard place.  But I continue to be greedy when it comes to computer labs- because it's darn good for the students.  And think of all the trees I'd be saving if I could just blog lessons instead!

As far as the RSS reader- that rocks!  It's nice to get those reminders instead of having to sift through all the other stuff out there.  I just have to remind myself to check it daily otherwise it gets pretty long.

On a side note, does anyone else grow weary with all the log in names and passwords we have to use in our lives in and out of school?  And yes- I do write them down- but man- it would be nice if all the web site people would get together and agree on a universal password and log in name.

Off to enjoy the rest of this fall day.  Next plan of action for me- continue to blog more myself so that when I get around to doing it for a classroom purpose- It will be like second nature!

Hiya,
This was one of the "tech for teachers" RSS feeds. It seems others have the same yearning as you for a universal login! http://freetech4teachers.blogspot.com/2008/10/open-id-will-make-teaching-with.html
