Thing #11: Finding Good Feeds

I explored blogs on Edublogs' Award Winners and chose one of the best resource sharing blogs. Edublog was easy to navigate since the feeds were divided into groups. In the Google Blog search, you have to make sure you are specific or several blogs will appear that just contain the word, but are not about what you need. Syndic8's layout was very confusing to me. I like sites that are not cluttered and where I can easily find the search tool bar, directions, etc. I also checked out sites I frequently visit to see if they had RSS feeds. Some did, while others did not. Of those that had the feeds, some had error messages when I went to subscribe.

I found several feeds that I was interested in. What's New @ Scholastic.com, shows different activities and ideas that can be incorporated in the classroom. About.com: Mathematics, provides resources, formulas, and tutorials that I can use to help my students. I also use quotes to inspire my students and to help them branch out their thoughts, so subscribing to Motivational Quotes of the Day will allow me to have quick access to meaningful quotes.
