A new item from the Google today: Web Elements. I can say that the name is decent with this one 
Basically you can take small snippets of Google tools and embed them into your webpage. For example, you can embed a presentation that you’ve got in Google Docs, or a Google Map. Perhaps one of the coolest of the Elements is the Conversation one, as people can add comments to your site when they’re visiting.
I think I’m finding these interesting because part of me is reading RSS just a tad bit less and I’m going to the actual sites and checking them out. There are a lot of great designs out there and I like what I’m seeing. One of the sites that I’ve been enjoying lately is the Rapid eLearning Blog. This is a blog about designing eLearning instructional situations, mostly aimed at corporate life, but it all applies to what I do as an ITRT offering Professional Development. One of the keys to offering quality PD is simply planning it well. Having objectives and developing some kind of assessment that tells you if the people that you are teaching “got it.” It’s a good site and worth some time spent there.

The team at Google Reader just released a new feature that I’ve been playing around with a bit. It’s called, “Bundles” and it allows you to “bundle” several RSS feeds together, which can then be shared out to your friends in Google Reader, emailed to others, or exported as an OPML file, allowing the feeds to be imported into another feed reader.
Here’s how it works:
In Google Reader, click on the “Browse For Stuff” item in the left hand column. You’ll see something like this:
Click on the “Create a bundle” button and you’ll be brought to a screen that allows you to drag-and-drop your feeds to create your bundle:
Note that you can email the bundle to friends, or share it out to your Google contacts or download the OPML file for importing into another feed reader.
Info on all of this can be found from the Google Source and a post at Lifehacker.
Share and Enjoy!

May 21, 2009 - Something to check out.
May 21, 2009 - This one looks good. I think we need to get kids outside more both for physical reasons as well as social ones.
