#17 Organise yourself with Delicious

This seems like a great idea! I had briefly heard of delicious before but not known anything about it. I can see great benefits in teachers sharing sites, as this is something we already do but not in such an organised way.

#16 Subscribe to some blogs

Linked to the blogs suggested and they were interesting. I can see though that the more you subscribe to the more updates there are to read, some more than others. Is there time?

#15 RSS Feeds

After looking at the articles and linking a site, I'm not sure i'm any wiser to the benefits of RSS. I understand that they give you updates of sites you nominate but I don't know if I need constant updates. I still need to be convinced.

#14 Facebook

I love Facebook! Having had a Facebook page for about 6 months now I am starting to know all the different things it can do.

Good points about Facebook: keeping in touch with friends I don't see regularly (even got a wedding invite through it), being up to date with Facebook happenings (particularly as my teenage daughter is on it) and Farmville - although many people tell me I'm lame for having a farm.

Bad points about Facebook: Having students send me friend requests (not appropriate!) and online bullying - my daughter has just been through this and it got very nasty.

As a primary school teacher I hear about many children opening Facebook accounts that are not old enough or mature enough to cope with it.

#13 MySpace

Having looked at a few of the MySpace sites and links I am still trying to work out what the difference is between it and Facebook. Speaking to a couple of other people I get the impression that MySpace is not as interactive as Facebook. The only way I could tell for sure would be to open my own MySpace page, but as I already have a Facebook page having both isn't really useful.
