Thing 15

When I subscribed to 2¢ Worth I had no ideas how many articles were going to show up. I did discover the clippings link which allows me to save any part of the post I choose in a file. It gives me the option of reading them later, keeping it for future reference and sharing them with others. I don't feel so bad now when I "Mark them read" and they disappear. I'm not so worried that I missed something or eliminated something of importance. As always, Thanks for listening. Leslie

Thing 4

I could sit for hours and click that NEXT BLOG link and randomly read each one - If I had time! As much as I'd like to do that, I can't. So-o-o-o-0 I have to pick some favorites (which is another challenge), and then I can stay up at night :) and up to date on the latest posts.
I liked the folder aspect of Bloglines and being able to organize them by topics. It's kind of like having new book chapters sent to - you get to watch the story unfold. I also like the fact that I don't have to go check but that info is sent to me. Lee LeFever's explanation was too funny!! Love that low tech explanation of high tech information.
Still struggling with thinking about how a school principal might use this. Communicating with staff comes immediately to mind, things like weekly notes, calendars of events etc. It seems especially helpful for times when there is a need to notify and update frequently. It would also be wonderful to engage teachers in dialogue around instruction - I just worry about the time. Thanks for listening...Leslie
