7A Reading and managing the feeds
I like the NY Times opinion RSS but I think I will eventually drop the NYTimes Middle East RSS.

It has so many stories about the number of people killed or injured that it may not be very useful. However I did like the story about cultural differences in the US and Egypt and this type of information is what I would use in my World Cultures Class. It also indicates why our foreign policy has had problems!
The History is Elementary really is a collection of other blogs and I decided to view a few and added
http://edtechtalk.com/ It has a video and I enjoyed the 4 educators who presented ideas and topics. I will try to watch several webcasts–they have several interesting topics under 21st century learning. I will have to learn how to manage my time and control my desire to check out all the suggested links.
Finally–I have enjoyed reading the comments and ideas of my two colleagues. They have a different perspective on this technology–one has obviously used a lot of technology in her instruction (but she has the advantage of being younger and it was a part of her high school/college experience.) I plan to check out some of the links they have included.

The NYTimes RSS was a very interesting read for me as well. I think that as soon as it is realized that each culture puts a different slant on what “Democracy” means for them,our Foreign Policy will stand a better chance. I also watched a bit of the edtechtalk webcast. I am also looking for similar sites for music. I too,am having to control my time and not get too bogged down because I have discovered such an open field of new ways to learn and share.
