Home Page Syndication

I consider myself officially confused. I’m not confused by the content or by the concepts of the course, but by which information I have stored where. Did I already put it in my blog, on my bookmarking tool; oh wait how about my home page? Yikes! I think that all these online resources are awesome, but just feel overwhelmed. I think that I will certainly know by the end of this course which of these online resources will work best for me personally and professionally, but this is going to take some investigation and time.

This week I joined http://del.icio.us/seidelna as my Social Bookmarking service as noted in the blog below and yesterday I made iGoogle my Home Page Syndicator. Since I already use the Google calendar, Blog and Picasa Web Albums options, I decided to keep things simple, located in one place, and most importantly in this stage of the game - remember only one password. I think that this could prove to be a timesaver by allowing a person to check all of there RSS feed sites in one place. It is helpful especially to know if they have been updated or not. I like having the option with iGoogle to have the weather, and news updates as well on my home page. In a few days I will report back on my experiences with the review of my syndicated resources.

Yah, I agree. Sometimes I think is this more organization to organize my organization. Ultimately, though what can we use in our classrooms? How can we use it? It should be simple.
