I am confused why this recent assigment post DID NOT show up on my igoogle. Also, I checked out a blog page my friend has and he changed it to a "website". Thought I could just add it by inserting his web address but I don't think it worked.
Did you subscribe to my posts?
When you say igoogle...do you mean your Google reader widget you have on your igoogle page? If your friend has an rss feed on his webpage you will be able to subscribe even though it's not a blog. If you're having trouble locating a feed from his page, send me the link and I'll take a look at it too.
It’s scary to know that every time we buy something, use our GPS, and send Email etc. We are creating a digital footprint that will follow use for ever. The bad part of the digital footprint is how this information could be used. Damage our reputations, tracking in schools our job opportunities, damage to our credit and more. On the other hand a digital record of what we do and like is like a family tree created about you every day of our life. The applications are endless both good and bad. I do not like to be so accessible and would like to remain under the radar. But with today’s technology that is impossibly. WHAT I NEED TO DO IS GOOGLE MYSELF AND SEE WHATS OUT THERE!
Hopefully this is in the right spot. Had trouble subscribing to blogs from home, my computer kept wanting to save the link as a favorite? I gave up and did it from school today. Lots of cool blogs out there, one I liked was called F(t). There were a number of interesting lessons along with some posts about teaching math in general. As I went through some of the posts a great deal was blocked by the school?
If Google is tracking everyone how did they get permission? Just by using Google? What will they do with the information? I enjoy goggling to get information when I don't know something, but I can see the downside. A couple of years ago I got a strange phone call from a man that I attended a summer workshop with 20 years ago. I thought it was strange that he called but I played along with 15 minutes of conversation of my present life. A day later he called again and continued to call me even after I asked him to stop. When I dropped my home phone and began using just my cell he had no way to call so that was that. Well several months later he showed up at school during my lunch looking for me. He knew where I worked, and that it was my lunch......he had traveled here from Florida! WEIRD, probably got all the information by Googling me. He left the building, hopefully he can't find my address. SCARY.
@deb...was the whole blog blocked? or just portions of it? Typically it's the embedded stuff that may be blocked...like youtube or vimeo videos but the rest of the content is usually viewable. Try to give me an example if you remember any of them so I can take a look.
Just parts. Also, when downloading a cool site about math in movies, it came as a feed in internet explorer instead of google reader. This also occurred at home this weekend. How can I get these on my google reader?
did your question get answered last night in class? When you click on the RSS link...you will be taken to a page that looks like a bunch of computer code...the URL will have the word feed or rss in it...copy that URL, go to google reader and click subscribe button at top of right sidebar and paste the URL in. that is the manual way to add a feed when the convenient google button isn't listed for the rss feed on a page.
