Week 6, Thing 14 - Technorati !

Well!  After I calmed down a bit, I was able to spend quite a bit of time on this particular section.  I was thwarted in my progress, however, because Technorati is having -- guess what???? -- TECHNICAL PROBLEMS !  Their link to "popular blog" does not work.  The link to "claiming" one's blog does not function, and the "watchlist" that one could have created has died a terrible cyberspace death.  In any case, I believe that I prefer "Delicious." It is easier, less technical, and really serves my purpose, which is to somehow identify the hundreds of lovely websites I have found on teaching French, which is why I am here to begin with.  à tout à l'heure!

Week 6, Thing 13 - DELICIOUS !

I already know about Delicious.  I love to surf the net for all things French, for example, so Delicious is a quite an exceptional tool for quickly finding what I need.

Week 5, Thing 12

Although I love the idea of Rollyo....it did not work!  The message I got, more than once, was "didn't connect -- too many connections." Rats!!!

Week 4, Thing 10

I really love Image Chef!  I can make a cool picture using a photo of the class with part of a French poem they have learned and even enchance it more !  Cool!  Who said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks?  Maybe they will like French poetry a bit more if I let them play around with this....who knows?

Week 4, Thing 9

So I have spent about 45 minutes looking for something of interest from Feedster, Topix.net, Syndic.8, etc., but either the site is down or the news is about Tiger Woods and his accident at home.  I did find one interesting blog about teaching French, but it was for elementary teachers.  Whatever....

Week 4 Thing 7

I am following Pat's Polemics! Now I just have to tell him....

Week 4 Thing 6

Howdy-doo! Another fast week of teaching gone by like a streak of lightning! I am enjoying this learning process more than I thought that I would. In fact, I am anxious to get an RSS feed or whatever it is called going so that I can keep up with some other people's blogs, particularly one by a fabulous f.l. teacher in another state!
