getting things together
Today's goal is to get this page in a little better order. I've imported my links from my bloglines account as that was a fast and easy way to post most of the education sites that I regularly visit. The ease and convenience of RSS is what I really feel will allow student blogging and webpages to actually cut down on my daily work for class and not double it. By using RSS all of the updates to student pages (blog posts, responses, and comments) can all be delivered to my computer through Bloglines (or another RSS aggregator) instead of me having to check 90+ websites each night.

I'm sure I'll add additional links as I get things going, and I'm not sure how best to format the links to organize them as well as the bloglines links. I think the first step is to further categorize my bloglines links and see where the non-RSS links can fit. I think I'll also be removing the Blogger toolbar from the top of the page. Yes, it does allow you to google-search your own page, but it might be a problem with students ending up on inappropriate blogs. I'm sure that will happen anyway, but perhaps removing it could cut down on the # of incidents.
