Thing #11- Finding Good Feeds

Create a blog post about your experience that answers these questions:
--Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?
--Which Search tool was the easiest for you?
--Which was more confusing?
--What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels?
--Or what kind of unusual ones did you find?
--What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?


In my quest to find good feeds, I actually had it pretty easy. I used mostly google. I searched teacher blogs. One of the first result was from scholastics. They had a top 20 teacher blog post. I found a few from there. The other way I looked for feeds was to click on people who were following the top 20 blogs. This was harder and more confusing because you never know what blog your going to or if it even relates to anything your interested in. Sometimes you can tell by the name, but not always. In my quest I did find useful blogs. "Classroom Solutions" updates everyday and has tips and information about things going on in the classroom or things that run smoothly in the classroom.

On the flip side, I did find so unusual blogs. It was unusual not because I didn't like it, but because it's something you rarely see. This teacher has a classroom blog and students posted there thoughts and stuff on this blog. It was cool to see the students interact and comment on their posts. This blog is called "Youth Voices"
