What would I do without her?

If you read my earlier post you know that I was stymied by my lack of technological know-how for inserting widgets into my blog.  My niece, my WONDERFUL niece, helped me figure it out.  I am very blessed to have her in my life and I enjoy our chats!

Technological frustrations

Today's frustration comes from trying to put a widget into my blog but finding it to be more difficult than I anticipated.  The problem stems from a basic lack of html/xml understanding.  My directions tell me to copy and paste the code in the space provided but there is no space provided.  At least not to my untrained eye.  I have tried the html tab and pasted what I thought was the correct code in the proper line, closed the code but I still get either an error message telling me its not correct or a feedjit link that does not update.  UUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

New Technology

I have discovered that there are a seemingly endless array of gadgets and tools that I can use to make my blog more attractive. I also have created a wiki but to be honest I am a little intimidated as to what to do with it. I hope that I will become a little more knowledgeable about these things before the school year begins. A month of summer is almost gone and it seems that the clock is ticking. Stay tuned to see what I come up with.

I have created this to help bring both me and my students into the 21st century. My intent is to incorporate its use into my teaching. I would like to have students respond to posts and I hope to post videos and/or music related to what we're studying and/or discussing. Students find the textbook to be boring and maybe I can engage them with this blog. We'll see. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Any help will be appreciated.
