Challenge #7

I finally got around to checking out delicious. It is a pretty cool tool! I had bookmarked a couple of sites yesterday in school, and it was nice to be able to easily access them last night at home, especially right from my iGoogle page. I can see me making use of this.

Well, I'm not really liking this snow much, but I guess it's inevitable.... Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Challenge #6

Here is one of my favorite Lit and Lang 12 pieces--and one of the best satires ever!


Swift, Jonathan - A Modest Proposal

Challenge #5

I always listen (somewhat jealously) to others talk about their TiVo and DVRs. We, not so long ago, after having a total of 2-3 stations with even decent reception, finally got cable laid out to our place. Satelite, TiVo, and DVR are things that I always felt I could live without (although deep down the idea of skipping commercials or just watching it when I felt like it sounded pretty cool). So, now being able to watch full-length shows on the internet for FREE...Yay!! I guess it's not that I wasn't aware it was there, but I just never took the time to explore it. I'm not so sure that my now finding it is necessarily going to be a good thing!

However, I think this can be great for the classroom--especially in English classes. Being able to find movies of some of our selections or of the time period we are studying is really exciting! Now, to find the time to really look!

On the not so serious not but in the spirit of Macbeth, since we will be starting this soon, here is a Simpsons episode that I found.
