RSS feeds for weather updates

Because my mother lives in Panama City, FL, I am nervous about hurricanes from June to November. I found a RSS feed for the National Hurricane Center and USATODAY.comweather. I can keep up with any tropical developments in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. I also was interested to keep up with the local weather at my school in Acworth so I found a feed for Acworth weather.

Learning how to use telecommunication tools

Whew! That word came to mind when I was asked how familiar I was with blogging, wikis, flickr, furling, portaportal, rss, and bloglines. The only word I could identify with was blogging. Therefore, I knew the class, ECOMP 7007 Telecommunications: Curriculum in a Global Context, would be an eye opener and would help me expand the use of technology in my classroom. So far, I have learned how to use several of these tools to help keep me organized and plan lesssons. I am still in the beginner stage but learning something new constantly. It is definitely a challenge that I know will keep me up to date with what my classroom students and peers are doing.
