Thing 7

This activity is the type that interests me and that I think will be quite useful for my classes in the near future. I simply posted the first photos that popped up on my computer and these are rather mundane compared to those posted by others in our group. However, my goal was to complete thing 7 more than to make any kind of artistic statement. So, mission accomplished.

Thing 6

The distortion and color in this photo are magnificent. I've taken and seen several photos of this structure but this is one of the most unique I've ever seen. The confluence of the sublime and the ridiculous provide a spectacular impression.

Thing 5

Three different ways of subscribing to a blog seems superfluous, but I think these methods might come in handy. Most of the places I visited had an easy way to create the link. However, some of the more obscure postings that I could encounter may need another method to secure a place in a folder. By the way, I would like to know more about moving links from one folder to another.

Thing 4

I suppose I could spend forever wandering the labyrinth of blogs and news services et cetera that populate the internet. I like exploring. The RSS feature will allow me to stay connected to and organize the places that I would like to revisit. As this evolves from the exploration mode to a level of organization and interest that corresponds to my classes, the form and function of the bloglines will become more useful and functional.

Thing 3

I've been away for a few weeks working hard and then, hardly working. However, I have read most of the blogs of the participants and find them all fascinating. The quest reminds me of some lines from Victor Hugo, to paraphrase-
What put the whole population in commotion was the double solemnity of the Epiphany and the Feast of Fools-
There are so many great thoughts, ideas and suggestions and some decry the humorous anecdotes and observations as a waste of their time. No doubt there is much to sift through and digest, and we all desire to find things useful for our students and ourselves. Nevertheless, I have discovered many realizations as well as laughs and find them all valuable.
Windows are eyes.
