Gimme an R! S! S! What's that spell? Nothing!
Continuing the trend of things being much easier than I thought, gathering useful RSS subscriptions was simple, simple simple! Most blogs and websites can be subscribes to, allowing the user to know when his favorite sites are updated quickly and easily. The easiest to subscribe to are blogs, since they have a tool right at the bottom of the page.
Most of the sites I subscribed to I'll be checking periodically. Sites like The Spoony Experiment, Dr. Ashens, Gizmodo, and Atop the Fourth Wall. Of course, my educational blog, I may be less likely to visit periodically, but that doesn't mean it won't be a helpful tool in my academic career.
Go on to your own favorite blogs and follow them! Let them know you care.

Here is my first episode of Tech Teach, educating on the use of podcasts.
Surprisingly, this experience was not as easy as I thought it would be. Writing the episode was simple enough, but recording with Audacity, if you don't really know what you're doing, can be intolerable. Mainly because it crashed on me at random. However, it's kind of fun when you get past the technical difficulties, and from a writing standpoint, I enjoyed this a lot.
Really, though, if you're going to do a podcast, make sure you understand Audacity. This episode appears unedited, but only because I was satisfied with what I had. If I were to put music under it, that's an entire other bag of worms. Take any tutorial you can get to make your podcast sound as professional as possible.
Also, just have fun with it. If you're doing something like this with the attitude of being forced, that will come off on to your audience, but if you're having fun, your listener will understand the feeling and they'll enjoy it as well.

Technology Mediums In Education
I've crafted a post examining three different technology mediums, showing how computers, television, and the internet can educate:
Technology Mediums In Education
View more presentations from artimus2015.
They Call Me Ishmael...or Matt. Whichever.
This is my first post of many in my new blog, based on my Educational Technologies course. Creating a blog was easy, updating it's look, however...yeesh. Try to make a clock, you end up with an ill-fitting ad box!
This isn't the first time I tried to make a blog, though. I almost did once. But that idea was lost until my class required me to dig up the effort again. Looking at all the design features and the required creativity, I'm beginning to understand why I stopped, but I don't think I'll regret restarting any time soon.
Anyway, I'm Matt. As I said, I'm in a class teaching the use of technology in education, so I'm learning how to use the internet besides checking out lolcats. I think this'll be one of the more interesting courses I'm taking, as I love this age of technology we're living in. My advice to everyone reading this is to embrace the new age. Sure, there are needless experiments, research, and developments. Do a google search for "New Jersey Robot" and you'll have a great example of potential being used wrongly. But for every development that goes astray, there are thousands that break new ground in entertainment, medicine, and even business.
Basically, what I'm saying is don't look at the burgeoning technological wave as humanity not being satisfied, but as humanity wanting better. And if those are the same thing...well, they are. But the latter sounds more optimistic!
