Okay...so at first I thought why would I use a RSS feeder? Then I checked into schoollibrary blog and signed up for Doug Johnson's witty tidbits. Fantastic information spoon fed to me! After trying some other applications, I then tried the Technorati tutorial and completed my first search...I entered "books to film."
I then spent the next hour getting caught up on movies that will be released featuring books my students enjoy (will enjoy) reading. "Coraline" will be out February 2009...yeah!!
So I now have a feed that will keep me in the loop about upcoming movies...my students usually come in to tell me about the latest movie they have seen and ask for the book. Now I will be one step ahead of them!
Also, I came across a blog talking about LOC. I had forgotten what a great wealth of resources LOC could be...score another point for bloggers.
All in all, I liked Technorati because my search using "books to film" gave me more responses. The tutorial was very helpful.
As I sit on my porch blogging, researching and learning...my husband is wondering if I will ever have free time for him again!?!
