Flipboard

So I have been playing around with flip-board for the past few weeks and I can see myself becoming addicted.  Not only does it give current news stories and education updates, but I have found some amazing things in preparation for my family's trip out west this summer.  I find that I can delve deeper and deeper into each page that I have flipped and soon I am lost with all of the information.  I think the feel is user friendly and easy to learn.  However, I am overwhelmed with how much is out there.  As I go deeper into one article and look at its accompanying links, I forget what I started with.  I don't know how educationally useful it will be to me but I know that this is one that I will practice on over the summer.
  Diigo - I am not so sure about.  I am having trouble even signing in.  If it works the way I think it will, it will be a nice place to save all of my links and interests.  Right now, I still write down websites or type them into Microsoft word for later reference.  Once I get the feel for Diigo, maybe it will be easier for me to use.

  Currently, all of the technology that we have been introduced to is so overwhelming.  I am looking forward to summer so that I can take the time that is required to make sure I understand how to use the sites.  I know that on Facebook, and now twitter, I am always looking and reading but never posting.  I do not see myself keeping up with a blog or tweeting very much.  However, I do like looking and finding resources.
