RSS Feeds and Google Reader

RSS Feeds on Google Reader

I am a new woman! I have my own blog, and I receive hourly updates on all the blogs and articles I have subscribed to on my very own Google Reader. Now it seems so much easier to see how I can use this in the classroom to benefit my students. If they are researching, for example, the recent disaster in Haiti, they can set up a folder in which they collect a wealth of material from reliable news sources. Students can easily share these sources, including notes they add to particular blogs and articles. They can also mark the sources they find most useful with a star, to help everyone filter all this information. I'm hooked!
