Being once again (yegadz I am SO old) in the position to have to prepare lessons for yet another set of applications (am I whining?) , I have been using "Google Alerts" to locate online teaching resources, tutorials, and hints, and then saving the links to de.licio.us in order to keep them until I need them.
For example , to day there is :
An intro tutorial to Microsoft Word http://www.baycongroup.com/wlesson0.htm
How to make a realistic pupil in Fireworks (and lots of other cool stuff)
http://www.tutorialsphere.com/tutorial/fireworks/special-effects/2262/how-to-make-a-realistic-pupil-in-fireworks
Gimpusers Flickr Blog http://www.flickr.com/groups/gimpusers/
Building a better podcast http://www.thejournal.com/articles/21814
Ipod Dancer Tutorial http://sglider12.blogspot.com/2007/12/ipod-dancer-tutorial.html
I can screen the possible tutorials, and add the one's I think have instructional possiblitities to my de.licio.us account http://del.icio.us/patriciacone
It comes in handy. I especially love having these laptops; it makes sitting crosslegged on the couch more productive!

Hi Pat,
I too use Google Alerts - it is a quick and easy way to get information on specific topics.
I have added you to my delicious network - you have great bookmarks that I will come back to.
Thanks,
donna
With some blogs, such as "Classroom 2.00" you get an alert for every single comment and every single new user, which amounts to many many alerts with NO content. I finally unsubscribed to it after 1 day. Is there a way just to get the actual blog updates, or is that just the way it is?
