We heard at our JSEA Technology Coordinators Conference this week about 21st Century education tools, advancing Jesuit education, and the role of the technology community in these regards. Today I invite you, the technology coordinators community, to comment upon the special and specific role of technology coordinators in advancing the mission of Jesuit secondary education. Describe an incident when you or a colleague exemplified the Ignatian principles of cura personalis and/or cura apostolica. Recall successes over the past year. Remember times that made you proud to be part of this mission. Imagine you are telling this story to someone newly hired and you want to convey the impact of our role in advancing Jesuit education.

Hi, Frosh Chapel Students!

If you liked today's break from B-96 music, watch and listen to this Gregorian chant from YouTube as you take a moment to unwind.

Today's Tech Tuesday presentation is on the subject of RSS feeds, or Real Simple Syndication feeds. You would use an RSS feed to bring new information from your favorite news or blog sites to your favorites area of your browser. Please enjoy this video by Common Craft, explaining RSS feeds in plain English.



For best results, you would need Internet Explorer 7.0 installed on your machine.

Welcome to Tech Tuesday! Today's first tech tidbit is an intro to blogging, the type of site to which you have now found yourself viewing. What is a blog, you ask? Blog is short for web log, and it is both a noun and a verb. I have created this blog as an online publishing platform. It can also be utilized as an online journal and/or a content-management system for organizing and facilitating collaborative content, as several of our Loyola Academy colleagues have done. (See the links on the left.)

The difference between web logs and web sites is that blogs are updated regularly and are interactive. Readers are allowed to comment to the content, instead of merely passively reading content. Just click on "comments" link below, and let me know what you think! Blogs are also multi-media, meaning you can add video, hyperlinks, and pictures to them, which can make them more interesting than just reading text. Scroll below to see a video example explaining blogs in plain English.



Thanks for playing!
