Really Simple Syndication, I'm going to have to type that over and over to make it stick in my head. What a concept for the world of blogging. I completely agree with Lynn about the organizational part of RSS. I too need an organized slate and too much information out there flowing at me will slow me down.
I love the fact that I can do searches on anything from astronomy to zoos and pick and choose the info I want coming in to my world.
I noted the comment on Penny's blog that talked about the online predators and such. I've been sheltering my children from the internet and using it only for research. They aren't as tech savvy as their peers. There's this feeling that I'm actually hurting their chances of being computer literate alongside their fast paced computer generation. After starting this class and learning about different ways to attain information, I'd love to show them how to maneuver through it as well since they aren't learning this type of tech info at their schools. How fun for them to do research through blogging and RSS feeds.

Good post! I, too, think that we can teach information literacy AND how to be safe on the Internet. We'll touch on safety -- there are ways to safely navigate the world of information. What I see are a lot of caring parents, in our group, with a desire to USE the Internet to the fullest, but making sure our children (home and school) can be safe and smart consumers, creators, and contributors of information.
Hi Jennifer.
Great picture. I also love your poka dots. I am so glad you also are questioning safety.
