RSS Page reflection

Post after following my reader page for a few weeks.

I've never used this type of technology before. I think it very informative and it has helped me keep up on news as well as given me some new ideas that I could bring to my classroom. 

I have posted to a jeep blog about how the new jeeps are not real Jeeps any more. They now have a mini van motor in them, and the Interiors are not rugged anymore. The new interiors that they are in stalling in the "off road" jeeps like the Wranglers, are very posh. They are no longer "Jeeps" you can't take them off road and get them all full of mud, then take them home and hose them out. They’re too nice for that.

Following my reader I have also found some interesting facts from “Howstuffworks” About the Autobahn in Germany that I was able to tell my class about. Germany has been making attempts to use fewer natural resources to power their country. Like putting up solar panels along the Autobahn.

There was also an article about comparing power from gas and electric cars.


I Also noticed that on a lot of blog posts there are a lot of grammar or spelling errors, that in printed news would probably have been caught and fixed. It seems as though the reader articles are written more off the cuff and not put through a thorough editing process.

Blog vs. web page

The traditional web page is a destination on the internet that has information on it. It usually contains links to related sites. Its usually created and left alone. There are up dates made to them, but infrequently. They're read from the top down, and the most frequent material is usually at the bottom. A Blog is easy to construct, has links to different sites of interest. Blogs are compiled thoughts and notes that someone has, or is interested in. The orientation of information in reversed compared to the Traditional web page, with the most resent information or (post) at the top, and the oldest information at the bottom.
