SummerCore 2008

After reading through chapter 14 I now have a clear understanding with blogs and wiki’s.  The chapter broke down the difference and capibilities of each.  I can see both of these tools will be very useful in my job as well as many other teachers.  I already have multiple ideas of how I plan to use them and pitch the tools to other faculty members.  Now as for RSS, I understand the concept but will need to play around with it to fully understand.  My understanding of RSS is bascially like a bookmark page.  Is this correct?

The first day of summercore 2008 was very informational.   I am excited that I learned how to build a blog and  knowing it can user/password protected for student use.  As well as having the capability to modify comments before posting.  This is a win win and I am sure I will be able to get the school to buy into it this year.  I am looking forward to the reminder of the week and learning some more cool techie stuff.
