Thing 11

     I tried google blog first since I google nearly everything.  I found it was the easiest,  since I am familiar with google already.  I entered the county in which my children attend school and found their website as well as other sites concerning the county's school system.  I have children in the middle and elementary schools and instead of visiting their individual websites and including the county's website, now I can add them to my RSS and view any changes or updates all at once.  NICE!!!
     Next, I tried the tropix.  I really did not care for it.  I just didn't get it.  I guess I tend to get my news the traditional way and maybe I will explore with it more in the future.  I did not do any better with Technorati.  I typed in several different subjects such as Tennessee TCAP assessment and found nothing.  I searched for a broader term like charter schools and found lots of different possibilities.  I think it is great for a broad topic but google blog definitely worked for me locally.  The phrase "Google It" holds true....
