Thoughts on RSS Feeds- I'm feeling a total information superhighway overload. Too much information for my little brain to absorb at once. It can be overwhelming. I know that this would be a valuable tool for accessing immediate, concise and up to the minute information, but I'm not used to being so current with this type of media. But what a great resource!! I think starting with just one source would be a good way for me to get in the habit of checking my source. I'm sure this is a great tool for those in a position to need this type of up to the minute information.

My thoughts about technology this week are consumed with our school district's new filter, "Webwasher." Although I understand our vulnerability and responsibility toward students, I'm really frustrated with this product. We seem to be placing too many limits on accessibility to some great "stuff'' for kids as we try to protect them. My hope is that this product can be adjusted to allow more freedom for exploration, discovery and good adventures in the classroom!

This is too much fun! Just about every thing tech-related interests me and I'm often overwhelmed by it all. I'm most interested in the artistic applications of technology and the creative potential of the tools available. I would like to find even more applications that are are " fun games" that are educational too. Kids using technology want to be entertained while they learn on computers, so any one with resources to share, please feel free to respond!

This is great fun! This third party site www.krazydad.com has a section called fun and games that lets you design (very easily) fun kaledascopes from your images.
