Thing 17

I used Thing 17 in teaching 8th graders today!! We accessed an RSS feed linked from our school website to the EBSCO database. We were looking for Consumer Reports articles, and this was an easy way to help students get "into" the database. Students DID experience both ways to get to the data-- the RSS feed only worked on the Mac computers in our library. I don't know why.
I have not taken a webinar in a while, the last one applied only to public or colleges. I would be interested in more webinars dealing with K-8 education.
I appreciated learning more about the ELM tools and I look forward to using these more often.
