Thing 4

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there - how do you handle information overload and how do you think RSS might help with that?

To be frank, sometimes I deal with information overload by simply hitting the DELETE button. I assume that if something is really important, it will be sent to me again. However, in our media saturated world, information overload is pretty typical. Being able to organize information is important and it looks like RSS feeds will allow information to come in and be sorted into folders similar to the way we would like our students to organize their notebooks/binders.

I have been there, done that. I really think Bloglines will help to make sorting through the information easier. I hope you find it does the same for you.

Hi Kara! I am finally getting around to doing my 23 Things. I better get my butt in gear, huh?

Information overload is my biggest issue. Way too much info and trying to find meaningful, relevant, factual information is difficult to find. By the way I like your layout. Different from what most of us did.
