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!

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!
