Podcasts

I looked through the lists of podcasts at sites suggested, but had better luck finding what I was interested in by googling a topic and attaching the word podcast after. For instance, I looked for Romeo and Juliet podcast and found it. Just for something fun to do, I think I'll use podcasts in my English classes....listening to a podcast of a scene from R&J instead of the students always reading out loud in class. The podcast I found sounded about as amateurish as my students would sound. But that's okay for something different. I'll see what I can find to use for poetry, too.

LibraryThing

I created an account in LibraryThing and added five books to my bookshelf. I do like the list of recommended titles that come up for each book. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/bobsgrandma

Playing Around

I've been working on that last habit of lifelong learning: playing around. I downloaded some pictures of my trip to Boston last summer. I added four of them to the Montana Libraries group. I changed the picture on my blog. I noticed that the RSS feeds are not all working....will have to figure that one out! This stuff is time consuming.....Hope someone out there enjoys my pictures of Boston. I looked at some of Lauren's pictures on Flickr. Very pretty place, Lauren. Now, I'll go play some more by being nosy and looking a other people's blogs.

A new semester

It's a new semester and a slightly different schedule. My classes have started reading about classical mythology. Tommorrow is ski day (which I am not going on), and I will have time to work on this week's lesson.

Okay, another thing that I need to figure out is how to add comments to my rss feed list. It would be nice to see when someone comments on my blog.

Lesson 3 has been interesting. I opened my bloglines account and added some (not ten) feeds to my list. I ran into some problems, though, with blogs from the Montana Challenge. I did not see a RSS feed on all blogs, and not everybody registered their blog with blogspot. I'll try again today and enter the blog URL. Somewhere, when I first started this, there was a long list of suggested feeds. I think at bloglines, but I could never find that spot again. I also want to post some pictures on my blog today. Later.
