Cedu 534 Digital Media Week 1

We read some good articles during week one. I read one article about RSS feeds that was particularly interesting and I didn't know that an aggregator could be set up. This aggregator can be used to receive the RSS feeds from many sites so that a person only has to check one website instead of twenty.

The paper (assessment 1) about the various educational blog sites was a good exercise. Assignments like this force me to look at and research several websites or resources that I might otherwise ignore. It's good to know what's out there and what might be useful in the classroom.

The readings for week one were enjoyable, as the chapters were not excessively dry or long. Some good concise information about Web 2.0 and blogs. This book is current, which is important for this type of class.
