Thing #10: RSS Reader & Add Feeds

I set up an account with Google Reader to receive RSS feeds. I like the idea of being able to quickly view updates at different sites without having to go to those sites individually and sort through information that is not of interest to me. I can use this when my math students are to comment through a discussion board/blog or are to work on a project using Google Docs. This will allow me to have one place to look for progress. I currently have an RSS feed for the local newspaper, which allows me to keep up with the latest news, and view articles that are of interest to me. Teachers can subscribe to websites and blogs that will help them in their subject and grade level to gain and share ideas. They can also use the RSS feeds to grow professionally. It is somewhat easy to set up; it helps if you are on a reader site that has a search option to find sites that you would want to look at if you are unsure where to begin.
