Thing #10
Simply stunning! I am loving RSS feeds and am very excited to wake up tomorrow morning and have the news from my favorites sites all coming to me on my new Google Reader page. As far as school and the classroom goes I have subscribed to Free Technology for Teachers, Edutopia, and the New York Times - Education section. I'm looking forward to staying updated on new studies and strategies that are posted on these sites. RSS feeds would be a huge time saver in checking student blogs as well. Though I can't picture my kindergarteners having their own blogs, if the other K-teachers each had a class blog we could use RSS to know when each other made posts that we could share with our students. 
For my personal enjoyment I've subscribed to Mental Floss, the New York Times - Art section, and Whole Living Daily. I hope that this RSS feeding will help me to manage my time better in the morning. :) I also took the challenge and set up a public page. Check out some of my favorite stories @ http://www.google.com/reader/shared/17120252569312786277. I haven't created a profile yet, so my url isn't custom; but once I do I'll post the updated link. You can also find my shared stories & blogs on the right side of this blog!
I didn't really like the RSS feeds. A lot of the information was confusing and Google reader did not help in categorizing each feed. It just lumped them together for me to find what I wanted to read.
ReplyDeleteI loved the RSS feeds. I agree that it would be better if there was some sort of organization to it, though. But, I know what I'm looking for, and I only chose sites that I went to regularly prior to this assignment.
