Thing 5

Thing 5 wasn't bad until I got to "Three methods of subscribing" #3. Saving the bloglines button in my favorites under links did not work like the video said it would. I eventually figured it out, but I got pretty frustrated. So the only way that I will know if there are updates on a subscribed blog is I keep checking my bloglines account? I did go on to subscribe to some blogs, so I made it through another thing! Yeah me!

Educationally, I can see how subscribing to blogs would save time so that everything is brought to you instead of continually searching. I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but I can see some benefits if my daughter's teachers started using blogs instead of notebook journals. I'm sure I will continue to think of some other ideas of how blogs will be useful in education.
