Kate- Y...Dr. Arnone - Name has been added! Thanks!<br /><br />Kate- You will find that yes, not sitting at a computer all day will definately hinder that constant ability to check updates. I am not (yet!) and avid enough Twitter user to have it be as effective effective as Google Reader. Scrolling through old Tweets = not fun (and they just seem like "old news" to me).Denice B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10703687482297213199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624841421790322851.post-17538765218719101222011-09-29T19:00:24.802-07:002011-09-29T19:00:24.802-07:00I absolutely agree that blogging is great for teac...I absolutely agree that blogging is great for teaching. I've been requiring my students to blog (in my case, within our course Blackboards) for a long time. I especially like blogs for teaching Film Studies. Since we show all of our films in class, it can be hard to carve out enough time for discussion. With a class blog, I can create a virtual classroom. My students can post on an assigned topic before the next class, and I can read their posts to refer to in class when we do discuss. Also, blogs allow us to insert images, videos, etc. Very useful!<br /><br />Glad you've found a new love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624841421790322851.post-46663793163022834762011-09-29T17:57:21.894-07:002011-09-29T17:57:21.894-07:00I like how everyone pretty much agrees that blogs ...I like how everyone pretty much agrees that blogs are wonderful for the classroom. I am also so glad there are blog sites specifically designed for educational institutions. I feel it is only a matter of time before everyone starts using them in the classroom.<br /><br />(As for new Facebook, yeah...I feel they really need to not change it so much...)A.A.Van Fleethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376509404624037495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624841421790322851.post-20046863151194987162011-09-29T17:15:00.769-07:002011-09-29T17:15:00.769-07:00Yeah, that 140 video was really cute when she show...Yeah, that 140 video was really cute when she showed the video that her students made by themselves! What did that last kid say..."this was the most fun project in 4th grade!" They were saying that their class project was FUN, and that is saying something! Now that I've spent a while making my blog on edublogs.org, and hearing all the great things about blogging, I am becoming more and more excited about using blogs as educational tools in the classroom/library.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908600320199123072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624841421790322851.post-22397884415995876052011-09-29T17:12:57.125-07:002011-09-29T17:12:57.125-07:00Great point about the RSS v.

You're right though- these have always worked for me because I have always worked sitting at a computer- I have Tweet Deck running all the time so new tweets pop up in the corner of my screen- if it looks interesting I check it out. Same with Facebook (although new Facebook is throwing me off...). This might all change when I start working in a library and I know longer have 24/7 access to these outlets- scanning backwards through my twitter feed and wall will probably get old really fast and an RSS feed might prove to be more appropriate for what I need.
