My blog topic - RSS Feeds

For my blog topic, I would like to focus on RSS feeds. I truly believe that knowledge is power, and I think this new "push" technology has great promise for the future of continuous learning. Obviously, the amount of data that can be "fed" could also be overwhelming. My interest lies in learning to properly manage the feeds chosen.

First Week Reflection

Well, we're off and running this semester. We seem to have a very engaged class, which, I think is important for an online course. I could not get over the number of strings that popped up in the discussions. In other online courses I have taken, strings were minimal. It also appears that the short, non-threatening intros have helped get this course off to a good start. I love the fact that we are represented internationally. They should just add to the rich flavor of discussion and debate.

I also liked how the instructions arrive in a staggered fashion just about daily from our instructors. That delivery mechanism seems to make the whole course less overwhelming.

I already had a blog that I made for another course, so putting a new page in was easy. The blogging piece for me in the past was tough. It was an add-on versus an integral part of the course, as it is here. Therefore, I am looking forward to really experiencing the power of a blog in this course. Few colleagues added comments last time as there were so many other course requirements.

So, all looks to be full steam ahead! Bring it on!
