Thing #7 - RSS Feeds

I guess I signed up for a Google Reader account earlier because when I was going to sign up I was already following 3 Blogs! I added a few other things to follow, like Mlive.

This is a nice tool to have so you can keep up with local/world news. Since my husband is a sports FANATIC he would love this! Instead of continually watching various sports stations to find out scores, he could subscribe to some sports sites and receive updates without having to waste time watching TV.

This would benefit kids and parents. They could follow classroom blogs to keep up to date with recent posts. My teammate, who teaches World Studies, could have kids subscribe to mlive or other news sources to get articles for their current events. I'm sure there are many other ways that this could be used in the classroom but I will have to do some more exploring and more thinking!
