SLL 2.0, Week 5, Thing 10

Well I am back. It has been a while since I have posted. I haven't been asleep. I have been spending lots of time playing with RSS feeds. After being so excited about them I was not too impressed with online image generators. There were some that were kind of interesting but they were not very useful. They were fun to play with but I didn't find much that I will use in the classroom. I added the image to my blog banner using a generator called Blog Banner Generator.

It is designed for Wordpress blogs but I was able to up lode a picture to the generator, save the generated pic to my computer and then attach it to my banner on the "customize" link. It looks ok. I will look around for some more but I am not terribly excited about what I have found so far.

Hello fellow Kansan!

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your comments on my bog. Thanks, by the way.

You didn't see your comments posted right away because I have it set up so that I can moderate the comments. I wanted to explore how that worked so I could consider using it with elementary students. I'm still a little paranoid about having information about myself/my school/my students available in such a public forum.

You have really done a LOT is a short time! I love your banner. Can't wait to explore that tool. I also like your avatar. I haven't tried that either.

I've been bogged down with work on my school's schedule (more complicated than anyone can imagine) but it's finally done and I can get back the fun, learning stuff.
