Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:24:03 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Finally!  A way of bookmarking favorite sites and having access to the collection from any computer.  I love it.  Tags will organize and simplify my searching.  Great! Tried to share a site  by tagging with "K12Learning20" but so far nothing has shown up on the Wiki page.  Don't know what I'm doing ... http://edukat50.edublogs.org/2009/08/13/thing-15-delicious/ There's something odd about attending a conference (K12 Learning Conference 2008) that occurred one year ago.  It's also a bit odd that although thousands have participated in this conference from around the world, I'm sitting here by my lonesome in the session How Can I Become a Part of this ... http://edukat50.edublogs.org/2009/08/11/thing-13-attend-a-21st-century-conference/ Nothing really seems quick in this Web 2.0 world.   I'm really talking about the speed at which I seem to pick things up.  I have to linger and mull, dwell and ruminate.  And yet, according to Vicki Davis' blog post Wiki Wiki Teaching, students seem to grab on to Web ... http://edukat50.edublogs.org/2009/07/30/thing-8-wiki-wiki-means-quick/ Just came back from a week in Oregon and Washington, so there's quite a bit of catch up to do.  Thanks, Suzanne, for the nudge.

My kids constantly multitask (although ... http://edukat50.edublogs.org/2009/06/27/thing-2-thoughts-about-web-20/ Blog writing is very much linked to blog reading.  So after reading a number of blogs, here's what I learned.

To turn blogging into ... http://edukat50.edublogs.org/2009/06/26/thing-4-a-blog-about-blogging/ I have a confession to make.  I'M AFRAID OF BLOGGING.  OK, I said it.   It's not that I'm afraid to write, or that I'm a math teacher (and more analytical than prosaic), or that I don't have any ideas (although sometiems my brain feels rather empty.)   I think that I'm afraid that somebody ... http://edukat50.edublogs.org/2009/06/16/thing-1-reflections-on-lifelong-learning/ Welcome to your brand new blog at Edublogs.
