CPL 2.0 RSS

I set up a bloglines account and added a few favourite feeds. I added a feed with one of the two urls you provided and was successful. I think this is a good product if you need to view certain webpages often and you can now have them all together at your fingertips.

CPL20-Google Universal

I signed up for a g-mail account to do the CPL20 questions and have shown a lot of the other products when I taught Internet Part 2. Today I used Scholar for the first time and really liked it. I had a student looking for a biography on Sharon Pollock and used this source to find information on her. Another tool I find incredible is the full-text for books. I missed my hold on a popular book so will use this to read it instead of putting it on hold again.

CPL 2.0 Facebook

The fact that so many people use facebook shows its appeal to a variety of people. I can see it being a great connector for family members and a way of sharing information etc. I, myself would prefer to email the individual or even use a blog as a way of keeping in touch with family, friends etc.

cpl 2.0 Wikipedia

I viewed a number of different topics but didn't see any spelling errors in the articles I read. I searched an entry about the community I was born in, in Nova Scotia. It had a lot of what seemed like accurate information to me. It stated however, the name came from a Mi'kmaq word with a meaning I wasn't familiar with. I added another possiblility for the translation of the name. Doing this little addition made me feel like I was trespassing into someone's space. I can also see how easy it would be to enter incorrect information and because of this we can't rely on this source as being totally accurate.
