Create a post in your blog about this exercise that answers these questions:
--What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?
--How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your school or personal life?
--How can teachers use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?
--Optional: If you're up to the challenge, create a public page with Google Reader. Why have a public page? To share your blogs with others!
I found the RSS and newreader tool is very useful and easy to use. I like that you can keep up with all your favorite sites without having to go to each one to see if they have updated their posts. I subscribed with five different pages.
1)Classroom Solutions
2)Cool Cat Teacher Blog
3)Free Technology for Teachers
4)How Long is This Hall?
4)Regurgitated Alpha Bits
I already have about forty updates waiting for me to read on Google Reader.
I could very well use this in my personal life and in my teaching career. As a teacher I would subscribe to posts similar to above that I can read about other teacher's problems and solutions, I could read about different activites teachers are using to teach different lessons, or I could keep up to date on the changes in the teaching field and how it could affect our classrooms.
I think that other teachers should really look into blogging about their career our subscribing to blogs so that we can see what's going on in our field. If something seems to be working in a classroom wouldn't you want to be advised and advise others?
