hi again, everybody - some encouraging thoughts from a student in class who has already tested out the instructions for Bloglines - the instructions worked!!! many students have heard about blogs, about RSS, etc., but are not necessarily sure what it is. just for myself, I think it's very useful if the online courses can help students learn how to use these online technologies safely and responsibly in ways that will promote their educational experience. :) Laura -----Original Message----- My thoughts so far: At first I was a little bit overwhelmed and thinking it was complicated (I didn't really even know what a blog was!). But now, I think this could really be pretty cool. Once I played with it for a second, it was easy to catch on. I like it. http://www.bloglines.com/blog/RhiannonRoblyer
