Weekly blog from last week

I'm trying to get caught up here. I think I missed blogging last week, so here goes. I have something to share and some questions.

I acutally have a tip: Dan Pelowski sent a great link to some of us from Teacher Tube - How not to use PowerPoint - from Teacher Tube Fri 1/9 11 MB. Don McMillian is obvioulsy a stand up commic who created a great sketch. It was perfect timing, as we were just working on the Decades Powerpoint project.

Now some questions - Dumb questions. I know I need to get "with it" (I'll do that in my extra time b/t the 3 kids, teaching job, lifetime job, job at Close Up in DC next week, life, etc.), but here goes:
What exactly is a podcast?
When are we going to exam social networks like Myspace, Facebook, etc.

I know I have some more, but those are two I was looking at right now. Because we are paired w/people who took it last year and because others are just more advanced than me, I sometimes feel stupid asking these questions. I simply am not as technologically curious or as astute at technological problem solving than others. However, I do want to know and I don't want to bury my head in the sand, but I can't seem to put the time in either. I felt "behind" on reading and keeping up w/stuff before, technology is a double edged sword, and somewhat makes it worse.
