		<title>Schools trying out 4-day weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With budgets getting tighter and tighter some schools are looking at 4-day weeks instead of 5. The fear, of course, is that students will miss out on the education they&#8217;re supposed to be getting if their week is shortened.
Personally I like the idea of a 4-day work week.  It would be great to have Fridays [...]]]></description>

		<title>TinEye &#8211; Finding your images on the web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Came across a new search engine called TinEye last week.  It lets you either upload or paste a link to an image and it searches its index looking for the same image.  For those that make money off of their images, or just don&#8217;t want copies on other sites, this is a good way to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching recursion with Scratch BYOB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest limits we came across teaching with Scratch this year is the inability to write methods and use parameters.  Methods, returns, and parameters are probably the only major concept in our intro CompSci class that we can&#8217;t teach in Scratch; so we introduced them in Alice this past year.  It worked ok, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should have joined Twitter earlier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For whatever reason, Twitter just never really appealed to me.  The idea of limiting myself to 140 characters seemed, well, too limiting.  And my first few skims of Twitter had too high of a junk to good stuff ratio.
But after finally dragging myself to give it a shot, finding a few people to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;and a test post with myWeblog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found another offline Wordpress editor to try on my MacBook.  This time it&#8217;s myWeblog 2.1.  I like the looks of it.  Seems very Mac-like, which I suppose is a good thing.

One of the things I&#8217;m most looking for, and so far only found in myWeblog, is the ability to edit pages.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t &#8220;unplug&#8221; your students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Came across this post from a technology teacher in Cedar Park, Texas.
Much of what she talks about is the result of a conference she returned from in Austin a couple weeks ago.  A conference that I, along with a few thousand other technology teachers, was also at.  I even got talked into presenting a couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do categories matter on blogs?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tags and categories seem to provide pretty much the same functionality on blogs.  The only difference I can see is that a blog typically has a handful of categories, but may have hundreds of tags.  
With that, does it make sense to even use categories anymore?  
I&#8217;m thinking not, so I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

		<title>First post with MarsEdit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you read the post up from this you&#8217;ll see that I just tried out Qumana and wasn&#8217;t all that happy with it.  It was nice to be able to blog without logging into WordPress, but it had a couple of deal breakers for me.
Unfortunately none of the free solutions I&#8217;ve come across have [...]]]></description>

		<title>First look at Qumana</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trying something new again.  The WordPress iPhone app that I posted about a few days ago was nice, but it doens&#8217;t work well for longer posts.  Nothing against the app.  But  I can type pretty quickly and it&#8217;s frustrating to have to slow down for the little keyboard.  Fortunately I have my MacBook with me [...]]]></description>
