RSS Feeds
RSS feeds are new to me. I've never heard of them before this week. Now that I have a basic understanding of the convenience, I have shared the importance of this great tool with the fellow teachers on my team. At times, I find the amount of information entering my reader overwhelming. I do feel that I am doing the best I can as an educator with being informed about laws, technology, and the experiences of other teachers by following the blogs I've discovered. I found a great link to the "Top 50 Education Blogs." I've added a few to my reader. This week has definitely opened my eyes to the amount of technology other teachers are integrating daily in their classes. I need to catch up, in small comfortable steps.

One thing I've learned over time is to start with a lot that look like they are promising and then narrow down the list after 2-3 weeks. You can quickly determine who posts regularly, who talks about things of interest to you, and who seems to really know what they are talking about or bring up interesting ideas. It definitely can be overwhelming at first. You'll also learn to look at who else the best of your RSS feeds follow themselves as a way of learning about other interesting feeds.
