Course URL - week for rss and social bkmarking
http://23thingsnat.blogspot.com/2009/05/week-3-rss-and-social-bookmarking_18.html
23 things n 'at as a course - misc. thoughts.
I'm still having trouble with the way this course branches out in so many directions when trying to teach something, and does not have as systematic verbal explanations as I would prefer. The tutorial goes by too fast in some places. I am ending up keeping a folder on my computer of notes, and info. -- partially because it seems whenever I follow one of the class referrals, I end up with the browser closed and having to restart all over trying to find the basic correct week and where I was at.
The instructions aren't very clear on whether you have to do all this within our blog or on your office computer or can do from everywhere/anywhere.
So, I've had a Delicious account for a while, used onlyi briefly, but really appreciate it when I click on something referred to by a son-in-law who maintains an extensive annotated Delicious presence on computer technology, medicine, and misc. other interests. do I remember how I set it up? No. Do I use it ? No.
The RSS feeder. I had already subscribed to 13 or 14 other participants' blogs without going through finding a feed reader, not realizing I needed some separate reader?? I have a my.yahoo, but never subscribed to an RSS feed per se knowingly, although some of my settings on that page probably amount to an RSS I think.
I have numbers of questions. My learning style would have preferred an interpersonal approach to learning this, I guess, as I'm uncertain to whom I should direct questions within lessons - since the source might be Palinet or one of several course leaders or just try to figure it out as I go along...
So, opposite goal, I'm feeling less confident and less sure than at the beginning of the class, as I am not clear on scope/feedback on this lesson.

Looking Back - Learning Styles
I probably should have put my extended Learning Styles comment here on my blog instead of as an extended comment on the response to the class page -- and given the abbreviated version there. For now, I'm just going to add in the basic summary : Interpersonal 88, Naturalistic 83, Verbal-linguistic 75, Musical 69 and, no surprise, visual spatial only 8 percent. Later on I should try to remember to copy from the basic 23 things n 'at comment section and insert it here.
