Classroom blogging (#4)

I found the information on RSS and aggregators, starting on page 53, very interesting. It explains how the internet has evolved from a resource we use to look for information, to a resource that information is updated for us as it becomes available. I am enjoying “learning by doing in our class blog project”. One way I am using my blog is as a library of interesting web sites that I either use currently or want to use in the future. I hesitate, however, to give my blog address to anyone I know outside of the project. I can see how this blog is being used in our learning as a project – as a blog, and also as a medium for communication on our other classroom projects. I still have reservations, however, about the openness of it all. The RSS and aggregators have made me even more wary.
