So, I spent the evening and morning exploring my google reader. Wow! The content is enough to send an OCD person into over-drive! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it is all in one place and can be organized, but I can see how it could become overwhelming. I don't want to miss something good, so I found myself looking a way too much. I'll have to work on the skim and scan skills.
I did find a really neat photo editing site called Picnik. I love taking photos of my kids so I can see how this would be fun for me to use. Here is the picture I edited using the program.
I, too, was WAY overwhelmed with my reader. I finally narrowed down to 2 feeds that I can actually keep up with.
ReplyDeleteDo you feel like you're on the high diving board, you jumped, made a big splash, but the dive's not over and the water is deeper than you thought? Overwhelming is an understatement. It's both frustrating and exhilarating.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding more than I bargained for in the web beyond the sea and I don't know how to get out of the whirlpool of information.
I have found websites, blogs, reader feeds, etc. I'm not yet sure of the differences or similarities or which is beneficial for what I want to do. It's still a work in progress.
Through self interest and following links of the members in the 23 Things PD, I have found art websites, audio books for students to read, video clips created by students in classroom integrating technology, slide shows, personal magazine journals, the list goes on and on.
I can't wait to delve into Picnik that you suggested. I've got lots of digital photographs to use to create and explore with this site - looking forward to it.
