So, I spent most of today learning about blogs and RSS feeds.  Well really learning more about them.  UEN's new blog tool allows me to create my own blog as part of my.uen account.  I can easily post quick announcements and thoughts about class or what we will be doing next.

My big question came with now, how do I use it?  What would be the best thing to put on a blog for school?  I wonder.  So, I attached some RSS feeds on this page from other blogs I maintain and from a couple of cool news sites.  I hope this helps with some ideas.

Today we have been learning all about the benefits of the Promethean Interactive whiteboards.  There are some very useful tools and I have seen some people create some truly interactive and exceptional, but I still have one problem with them.  This isn't just with Promethean, but with all whiteboards.  I think they deflect funds and focus away from one to one computing with the emphasis on generative learning, to a center stage with an emphasis on compliant learning.  

Now, I don't want to take away from the good things that are done with them, I just feel that the nature of the tool places the emphasis on the front of the room and having everyone come to the same conclusions.
