RSS FEEDS

I really enjoy the feeds that I have on my Google Reader since starting this in the summer.  I have a mix of professional stuff and personal interest.  What I really like about this application is that these feeds don't clog up my e-mail in the form of e-newsletters (this has become somewhat of a problem for me lately!)   I like the fact that the reader is there all the time and I can read the entries when I want to.  I have added 2 new feeds to my list.  The first is Vancouver 2010 which of course is about the Olympics.  I think as things heat up this might be something to consider for school discussion.  The second feed is EDUTOPIA.  This originates from  a public education site from the US.  I enjoy their website as it is a very broad look at education in general, interesting commentaries, discussion blogs etc.  I first heard about it on the local Buffalo PBS radio station.  I  have already shown our school staff the value of feeds and the information that they can get by subscribing.  There is a nice one called Teacher's Love Smartboards which I have suggested at school for staff as we have smartboards.  For children in elementary it might not be so popular but it could be useful for jr/intermediate students  looking at current events on a daily basis from local, national or international newspaper, magazine feeds.
