Thing #6

Okay, this task created frustration. Is anyone else having the trouble I'm having going from tab to tab? I did get it worked out and I found two pretty cool feeds. The first feed is called Steve Spangler's Blog http://www.stevespangler.com/. It gives information and links to a variety of science experiments, etc. The second feed I found This Week in Education http://scholasticadministrator.typepad.com/thisweekineducation/. It offers a great variety of current events/activities involving education. I am now subscribing to eight feeds. I guess I better find the time to keep up, right? These activities are definitely started to test my patience and frustration level. I'm not giving up. I will make it to #23. (I hope...)

  1. I'm sure you'll make it to 23! However, it really is hard to keep up with all the information available in RSS feeds and blogs. I'm finding it hard to find time to read the newspaper...something I've always done.

  2. You're gonna make it - I'll make sure of it! ;-) It is hard to keep up and it is hard to select what I want to be fed without getting overwhelmed!
    Perhaps finding a feed that isn't so busy (or at least as busy as USA today! I'm not getting nearly that many new articles each day!
    It's okay to be frustrated while your learning - it helps build the neurons (at least according to our dear friend AT Hobb!) You'll be okay! I promise!

  3. You will definitely make it! Just remember that it's ok to delete any feed that isn't working for you and find another one. Also, it's important to skim and scan the posts from your feeds to find the ones that interest you. You do not have to read them all. It's ok to mark them as read, even if you didn't really read them! ;-)
