So I started a new "Teacher's Toolbox" workshop last night with five brave souls, regaling them in the wonders of the RSS/Wiki/Furl/Bloglines/del.icio.us thing. Coincidentally, Alan and Brian were doing something similar at Educause, albeit with much more organization and preparation. Frankly, I didn't quite know how to approach it; there seems to be a very fine line between inspiration and overwhelm-ed-ness when it comes to these topics. So I ended up giving them the tour yesterday with the idea of putting them to work tomorrow night when we finish. And I think it went pretty well; just a little bit of glazed eye syndrome when we were done.

Will Richardson posts about starting this workshop and I had also started something similar last night too. We just focused on Furl and will discuss RSS in a future session. Most participants seemed to really like Furl and were excited to use it in the classroom. I'm not sure how they will respond to RSS though.
