Greetings, everyone!
I'm going to really try to keep up with the blog. In my Web research this week, I did come across some network sites that might be of interest to you. The networks are great to find other users with common interests, share resources, and network. Go visit the sites, and let us know what you think, and how you'd use the tools. The sites are: www.StumbleUpon.com, www.Mixx.com , and www.Sphinn.com .
Have a great week.

Back to the blog, again!
Tuesday evening greetings!
For the next few weeks, I am going to try to "manage" my blog. I am hoping that I can better see what it takes to keep up with it. I'm going for the true experience.
I have just finished reading a great article about an art teacher (high school) using a blog as a reflective journaling response to art. The article was found on ProQuest (ID: 1793434101. The article is The New Conversation: Using Weblogs for Reflective Practice in the Studio Art Classroom, by Alexandra Overby. In her article Overby describes how her students could reflect on peer work, their own work, and those of famous artists and media. I never thought of blogs as such a creative venture. The article is worth a quick read, if you are interested in the use of blogs in your classroom. Back to the blog. VA

Back to the Blog
Evidenced by the last date on my post, I have not been "blogging" on this site. I would probably use the blog more, if I wasn't so busy learning new technologies and working on assignments. I love the idea of being able to archive, add features and applications, and share my work and resources, for free.
After this weeks discussion thread, in EDU 652, I have come to realize that once you have some basic technological (current) terminology down, you really can teach each other new skills. I pick up "bits and pieces" from different individuals, and once I put them together with my limited tech knowledge, I figure things out.
This weeks tool was Articulate. Does anyone have any cool tips or usage ideas for Articulate in the classroom? Just checking.
