Here I'm stating the obvious. The nature of the Web is lit up everytime a poor schmuck like me starts searching in one corner and ends up lost half way across the semantic world. Link after link after link...
It's annoying. It's fun. It's unbeleivably time consuming and potentialy brain damaging. It's modern life (for me).
In the tradition of blogs and the like, here is another link in a chain that might lead somewhere:
Four Eyed Technologist led me to a wonderful interactive site for Romio and Juliet (a flash site that may not be all that accessable); led to by Texas Bluebonnet Writing Project Blog which was linked to by The Fischbowl.
Ain't technology grand?

Technology Unit
I handed in a unit on technology in my methodologies class. It dealt with access to technological resources, communication, and the democratizing aspects of the internet.
Great fun... One thing that helped inspire me is the following:

My wife introduced me to a version of this on Shlideshare a few weeks ago. I've since learnt that there are more versions of it, and about the people behind it.
The Fischbowl is a blog by a teacher who's working very hard to build an education environment that will really help students grow into the world the're entering.

Tags II
This is a placeholding post. I'm using it to add tags to the interface of this account.
only lets me havev 200 characters in tag reference... have to do this in bits and peices.

The concept of tags in self-published and referenced materials is so useful! Thank you to whoever figured out to use them.
To keep myself focused and to expand that focus, I'm listing tags ahead of time. I want to get a right sense of this work's intent(s).
So, this is likely an incomplete list, but I think that this is a worthwhile way to start off.
Maybe this is a good way to help students start the process of self-publishing?

Blogger annoyance.
Having a great deal of trouble uploading an image for use in CSS template. Lovely.
Preparing lesson plans for the first years.
I've been told that the first few years of a teaching career is very difficult. Settling down with the culture of a school, a neighborhood, a district, and all such things takes a toll.
The starting teacher has even more hardships (challenges?); learning to teach (student teaching's just the start) and building a toolbox.
The last is what I want to do the most here. That's the point of this.
Sounds good.
