            <description><![CDATA[<p>I feel both excited and overwhelmed the the profusion of web 2.0 technologies.&nbsp; It may not surprise you to know that I have already sampled some of them.&nbsp; I have blogs with Blogger and Wordpress, I micro-blog through Twitter and Tumblr.&nbsp; I have social networking accounts at Facebook, High5, Vox and LiveSpaces (and a few others, Including Myspace which I have either forgotten / deleted). I am a member of Technorati, Digg and Delicious.&nbsp; I attempt to organise my online world through both Netvibes and Pageflakes.</p><p>But as exciting and empowering as this interactive / integrative technology is, what use is power if you don't know how to wield it? &nbsp; There is too much out there.&nbsp; Maybe the point I am missing is you are meant to embrace some of it rather than all of it. But what to embrace?&nbsp; I need a digital equivalent of a financial adviser.&nbsp; Extrapolating into education... need analysis has never been so important.&nbsp; How can we as educators help our students to make appropriate educational choices about which of these tools with enable their growth and development if we aren't able to make those choices ourselves.</p><p>I should add that I can stand in the supermarket aisle for 10 minutes trying to decide which&nbsp; breakfast cereal to buy.&nbsp; Me and choices don't sit well together.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://thenorthlands.net/forums/uploads/1219430361/gallery_2_42_56260.gif"  border="0"  alt="Escher"  width="378"  height="373"  align="left" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
