Pew survey

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

A nationwide phone survey between May 4 and June 7 by Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that the

average American internet user is not sure what podcasting is, what an

RSS feed does, or what the term “phishing”means. Even though we’re

getting past the “What’s a blog? stage we still have a way to go, folks!

Comics RSS Feeds

Monday, January 3rd, 2005

    Today is my first

day back at work after a very nice week off! It’s true, time flies when

you are having fun but it’s nice to get back in the blog world. My boss

told me this morning about a comic strip she read in the Sunday comics that featured weblogs but she

could not remember the name of the strip. Of course that sent me off on

a quick hunt. I haven’t found the clip yet but I stumbled across a list

of RSS feeds for comics.  Check out Comic Alert and Tapestry

Now this has possibilities for classroom use and the kids would love

it! It is too cool, all this stuff that we can have delivered right to

the doorsteps of our computers. It really makes you wish we could have

a computer at every student’s desk so you could truly maximize the

incredible possibilities. I know, I know, I’m a dreamer but it will

happen. Just not as soon as I’d like! Meanwhile I think I might create

one Bloglines account for the kids, testdrive it and see where we go!

What fun!
