This is a first for me, and I'm looking forward to transferring this skill to my students. It seems that social media is what drives our culture today, and students love to write about their experiences i.e., so why not have them use a tool that will develop their learning? This class has challenged me and made me more aware of how technology can positively affect student learning. The screencast was interesting, and I plan on incorporating it into a lesson about WW2 propaganda. RSS feeds are going to be an incredible help to me (teaching history). I noticed that Gmail is now using an RSS feed style system. I'm off to take Exam 3 after finishing my first blog.
For any history buffs out there, here is a link to a trailer for the new Lincoln movie, its an outstanding film (our junior class went to see it this year). If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to watch it.

Thank you for sharing the link to the Lincoln movie.
