Real Revolutionary Service - RRS Feeds

Today was my first tour around RRS feeds - wow, somebody was thinking! I signed on to a few, but I can see how it can be addicting and time consuming! There are so many great sites out there, and, of course, one leads to another and pretty soon you've been looking around for an hours! At the same time, of course, this is a real time-saving device. I will enjoy having everything come to me. I'll be able to take a quick look and see what's new and have it at my fingertips. For professional purposes, I'll sign on to sites that relate to my position and to various subject areas and then I can pass on information to teachers and to students. I'm looking forward to surprising them with some great stuff! Personally, I'll be logging on to some sites that I enjoy, particularly sites with book reviews and it'll keep me up to date on what's new! I think I need to spend more time with the RRS feeds as although it is easy to do, the possibilities are quite overwhelming. I'm thinking that it would be good to subscribe to sites students could use in their research which would enable them to have up-to-date information.

The Vatican Libraries (part of...)

The Vatican Libraries (part of...)

Cruising around flickr, there were so many amazing pictures. Since I could spend the rest of my life looking through all the photos, I decided to narrow down my search and look at pictures people have taken of libraries. So many are incredibly beautiful - the architecture of the buildings reflecting the beauty and creativity of their contents. However, upon seeing this shot, I knew it was the one to download. I have been to Italy four times, and I love it. I have been to the Vatican Library, and it almost overwhelms your senses with its intricate beauty. It's as stark a contrast as possible to my own library which is in bad need of a makeover! I often think that if I ever win a massive lottery, I would redecorate my library!

Movin' On

My first blog. I'm not sure if a year ago I could have told you what a blog was. This is my first step towards meeting my goals in developing my technological literacy. I haven't been kicking and screaming, just rather passive, preferring to read a book instead. Thanks to Carlene for getting me started!
