monkeyon.com

After going to each of the sites listed, I chose monkeyon.com as a site I would use often. Monkeyon is a site that allows you to send email reminders to people's email accounts. I sent one to myself to see how it works and found it to be good to use as a gentle reminder. The recipient gets an email from your email address, they get a message saying that this is a reminder that they need whatever task to be completed and the date and time that it is to be completed by,and that they can expect more until the date it is due to be completed. The receipient can choose to "kill the monkey", that stops future messages about the task and sends you a notice that the monkey has been "killed".

Signing up is incredibly simple. They need your email adress, name (I just used my first name),and your own password. I joke sometimes and say things are so simple that even I can do them, this is something that is so simple that I can actually teach someone how to do it.

I can see a teacher using this to send students, parents, and faculty reminders about school related subjects, as well as using it for personal use. The monkeys can be used as a friendly reminder to friends and family for special occasions, errands that need to be run, the possibilities are endless. I can see myself getting many monkeys with my memory issues, I might even send some to myself when I really need to remember something that is not in the immediate future.

RSS fun

This assignment seemed pretty simple, so simple that I feel like I may have missed something. Looking for the RSS feeds on my websites was surprizingly easy. Just one or two clicks and I had a link set on my igoogle account. I think it took me as long to set up the account as it did to find the 5 links for it. The screenshot link didn't work for me, so I searched screen shot and I got a window showing me options including one on how to use the snipping tool.

I feel that I will be checking my account to keep up with my feeds and adding more when time permits. I really didn't know much about RSS until I started this assignment, now I'm glad I know what it does and actually use it. Since we were able to add feeds from sites we use personally, I am sure that I will find valuable information daily.

Teaching experience

I had a bit of a tough time getting the settings right to record my podcast. Once I got the right settings right, it was very simple. The trouble was in getting it to the blog.

Intro

This is my first real blog, I don't count the ones on myspace as they were more notes to friends and family. I am learning a great deal of information in the short time this class has been in session. I have already had a couple of firsts and I doubt that they will stop occuring. I view my first powerpoint as a success based on the grade I earned and the education I received in making it. I hope this blog will prove to be as successful. I will be having my 38th birthday tomorrow, won't be doing much celebrating as I am in a splint for the next 3-5 weeks and cannot drive during this time. It might be said that I am a classic late-bloomer, and I'm ok with that as long as I get the credit for the blooming up to now. Please don't mistake me for being immature, I have a 16 year old son that helped me mature early in life in many areas.

So far, I have found the starting of a blog to be more simple that I had first thought. Here I am with my fist posting and I didn't even know where to start on this an hour ago. Getting the information from the first paet of the module about Web 2.0 was more difficult than I expected, but I was fortunate enough to have someone send it to me so I could get started yesterday.

I will be adding several pictures as we go through the semester, just remember, I never claimed to be a male model or anything.
