Thing 5-UGGGGG!

I had alot of difficulty with this thing! I could not get the bloglines into my tool bar using the method described in the tutorial. I think it may be a problem with Internet Explorer 8 that I just installed. I did manage it get it into the tool bar but it closes the blog window I am in everytime I click on the bloglines. It seems to very frustrating tool to me. I will probably explore Google reader because I hear it is so much easier.

I even had difficulty finding blogs that would pertain to me. It could be that I am just tired so I will try again - tomorrow. How will I use this with my students - not yet - if it is confusing to me I am sure it will be confusing to them.

The only thing I tried to do once I found a good blog was to look at the blogs they subscribed to to see if any looked good to me.

  1. You are not alone out there. I had the same difficulty and I am wondering if some of the videos we are using are outdated. It would be hard to keep up with the rapid change in these areas. You mention you are mixed up and worry about using it with kids. I am wondering how I would even teach this with young students.

  2. Don't forget that as high school teachers, we could probably have our students teach us to do half of this. :)

    BTW, the link from the 23 things site to your blog is not right. You are linked with the blog above you, so if I click on yours, I go to the other person's blog. Just an FYI!
