GOOGLE READER
The more I work with my iGoogle account, the more I love it. Having a place to store all of my favorite Web 2.0 sites in one location is very appealing to me. Google Reader is far the best! Listed below is just a few sites that I have marked as favorites in my Google Reader:
News4Jax – News4Jax is an online version of our local Jacksonville newspaper. Every morning, I get a cup of coffee and log on to News4Jax to catch up on the latest happenings in my town. http://www.news4jax.com/index.html
Teacher Beat – This is a blog site of Education Week where I can find out what’s happening around our country concerning the latest news and insights on teacher – related policies and politics. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/teacherbeat/
U.S. Department of Education – With this site, I can find funding for educational purposes, conduct research, find out about educational policies, and much more. http://www.ed.gov/
ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) – ERIC is a web based library with more than 1.3 million journal and articles for research.
CNN Tech – CNN Tech is an extension of CNN News where articles of the latest technology discoveries and uses are wrote about. I love this site because I can learn what is happening in the world of technology and also to see if any of the findings can be incorporated into my lesson plans. http://www.cnn.com/TECH/
RSS Feeds can be a very important part of very ones day, if you are able to work them in, especially the way you have found, an online version of your local news in Jacksonville. I do not think that early in the morning I could find the gumption to sit any were need my computer with a cup of any thing liquid, but as I now from our privies collaborations, you have the power of being a mother, a talented multi taker.
ReplyDeleteYour second choice for RSS Feeds Teacher beat is a very good find and I will be utilizing this RSS my self. Living and teaching in Vermont it is very easy for me to lose touch with what is happening in the rest of the outside world in teaching. Teacher Feeds, leeds correctly in to your next choice of RSS. U.S. Department of Education, I am fortunate to know that someone is keeping track of them. I know I do not have the time, good choices, thank you!
Eric and I go way back and as a RSS feed that I also would consider but then I fond Ebscohost. If I cannot find the information I am looking for in Ebscohost, Eric is my next choice.
I am glad that you enjoy CNN Tech, however I stay away from CNN applications for reasons not appropriate for this post. I am glad that you are able to incorporate the new technologies that you found in too your lesson plans. It is all for your students.
