hi folks, I don't know how many of you are using blogs and/or RSS readers for your online classes, but Bloglines.com (free web-based service) has done a great job the past few months of integrating their RSS reader and a simple blogging feature, so I've decided to use it for my classes in the Fall and am having students this spring test it out for me, and I'll be doing a lot more testing and exploring on my own this summer. the most basic information and getting-started instructions are here, if you are interested in learning more about this handy service: http://www.bestmoodle.net/ks/projects/index.htm also, in the world of blogging, there's a post at librarian.net which also contains a list of Oklahoma-based library blogs (the post is apropos of State bill HB 2158 re: denying state funding to libraries that did not restrict access to sexually-explicit or gay-themed books to adults only) - anyway, if you're interested in librarians who blog here in Oklahoma, this is a nice list: http://www.librarian.net/stax/1717 happy end-of-semester - it's coming soon!
