Thing # 10

Oh how I LOVE this Rss.  All of my blogs are in one place!  That means no more going to individual websites and looking for new information!!!!  What's even more awesome is that my Google Reader was already set up and my blogs, with the exception of my fellow student's blogs, was already in place.  Now all that's left to do is put my Google Reader on my favorites tab and everything I need is one click away!
      This is a great tool to use in the classroom because any information anyone needs can be saved to the Google Reader and can be easily located.  As a future history teacher, this will prove to be an important tool for research papers.  Students can easily access information from historical blogs and get an idea about a topic and be able to fully explore it for their paper.  However, this can be used for all subjects and as long as there is one computer in the classroom, students can take turn using the Google Reader.  It's not a hard tool to use or set up, so there isn't an excuse for teachers not to explore this valuable and free resource.
