I enjoyed exploring Craig's blog. Lots of resources. He's like the 411 for art ed online. The portal and CPS...hmmm historically my two absolute FAVORITE sites. (note the dripping sarcasm)I'm getting used to the portal, as long as I only have to use it to download readings or post for class discussions, but if we're using the Ning for that, and it works better, I'd rather just phase out the portal so I only need to remember to look in one place. And I hate SAIC e-mail. I mean, sometimes my e-mails are received and sometimes not. It was a problem as I was applying for a TA position this summer and three weeks went by before I realized they never got my resume. Nice. And on CPS, I remember trying to find schools in which to observe as a person new to the city. The school search by location feature was pretty helpful, but I kept imagining what it would be like to be a parent who just moved to the area and was trying to find a school for a child. It's probably reflective of the whole setup, but talk about information overload!
Now, back to my problem. I think I need to just start visiting all of the blogs on the syllabus a couple times a week, starting now. I'm really overwhelmed when I try to explore a site in one sitting. Facebook took me three years! I tend to just read today's posts, or down to where I stopped reading last on any of the blogs I follow. I do find myself addicted after that but I think I need to build a relationship with the sites that way, instead of trying to cram before class.
