Podcast

I visited both podcast sites, http://www.podcast.com/ and http://www.podcastalley.com/. After visiting both sites I realized there is really good information all over the web in a number of different technology forms. There was a few sites that I added to my RSS feed that interested me. As nice as that was to hear someone talk about a topic I am interested in I found it hard to pay attention if it was longer then about three minutes.

Technorati

My biggest problem with some of these blogs are, these are mostly just peoples opinions. I have spent a lot of time looking up information that is going to help me become a better teacher, but what I am finding is that I am getting overloaded with peoples opinions on stuff. Don't get me wrong I bet there is a lot of really good info out there, but I am not finding what I want.

What do I prefer Boards Vs. Blogs

I personally prefer discussion boards vs. blogs. The reason is because with the discussion boards I can get others input and opinion on a particular topic. If it is a topic I am not interested in I don’t have to look at it. If it is something I have an interest in. I can click on it and give my opinion or read what others have said. To me it seems faster and easier. This might just be because I have more experience with discussion board then blogs.

Proper Squat Form

YouTube

My experience has been pretty good using YouTube. The video I chose was a weightlifting that showed how to do a proper squat. I used this in my weightlifting unit in class. I showed the video on a projector then took the kids to the weight room to work on the skill.
The only problem I found is when I had a great video and the person took it off YouTube I could not get that video back. Other then that I like YouTube.

Del.icio.us

When I first started using del.icio.us I though "great one more site to figure out." Then I asked a co-worker of mine a question and found that on their bookmarks he had some sites bookmarked. After looking through his bookmarks I realized I would be able to use a number of these as a teacher.
As a professional I can see many useful ways to use del.icio.us. The teacher I asked has already looked up and found a great website for weight training. So instead of me doing all the work and sifting through countless websites. I can use what others have already found.
