Okay enough summer time fun… it’s time for Thing #9

The lazy days of summer are quickly coming to an end. It’s back to work and here I am blogging away. I haven’t completed the ’23 Things’ in any real order and today I worked on #s 8 and 9. I set up an RSS through Google Reader. I can see a classroom use for this in terms of current event assignments. It would make it easy to locate news items on a particular country or theme and link them to the classroom blog. While working on #9 I got completely carried away and spent entirely too much time winding my way through the award-wining Edublogs.

Check out my Slide Show!

Wow, I am having a real problem trying to input a slide show here. Just look at this mess…
