REALLY SIMPLE SYNDICATION


Really simple what? - it's RSS !!!

I always did wonder what that little "R" symbol was in the corner?!

However I now subscribe to our local daily newspaper "The News Mail" through their RSS Feeder.

It saves me time searching through the WWW trying to find the information I am looking for.

WIKISPACES


Wikispaces - topic number two on my learning journey !
Wikispaces are simple user friendly web pages that can be used by families, groups, students can edit together online to create a collaborative wiki-hosting solution.
Many teachers and schools are using Wikispaces to teach their students

AASL Top 25 Websites for Teaching and Learning

"This is the quintessential collaborative tool!

This easy-to-use website allows anyone to write, edit and share content."

American Association of School Librarians

I have a link to my wikispaces for a plan for teaching year 1's about healthy eating

BLOG


What the Blog??

For someone who thought that they were "fairly with it" when it came to information, technology and the WWW - shocks me to discover "BLOG"

What is a "BLOG" -well according to http://www.blogger.com/tour_start.g (which by chance is where I started)

"A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space.
A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet.
A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world."

the list went on and on and on...

So here it is - my blog- my collaborative space with my collection of links!!
