I just took some time and went back through the book to access the tinyurls that I highlighted. I found I was most interested in the Flickr ones. However, I was not impressed. I think I was expecting an easier time finding things. I dug for a while and read a bunch of things off of Dave's page. I think I will start basic with a few photos of my own that I will use I the classroom.
The productive part of my search led me to podcasts. I started looking for tidbits of news at The New York Times. I also accessed iTunes for their educational section. Scientific American has some podcasts called 60 second Science. I put a few of them into my RSS feed. I also found a comic strip at xkcd.com. this site will probably be for my humor. Some of the comic strips aren't appropriate for the classroom. I subscribed to that as well. It will be interesting over the next couple of weeks to see how much of that information I will implement into my classroom and exactly how.
Funny note: We read a lot about people policing the information posted. I was on a Flickr page and as I was reading through the posts, I found one woman who replied to the writer that his grammar was awful and needed to fix it. Awesome.
