RSS Feeds

Here is the my reader page on google reader.  I use this to quickly find information about better teaching and science.  If you would like to see some of the articles I have read, check out what I am reading icon on the side. 

One of the post I read was about showing students how to show respect.  I found the article quite interesting since I was working on something similar last year.  I replied to this lady's blog that I to had tried to show students how to be respectful. I added that I also felt it was great that she was demonstrating these behaviors to the students and furtherr explained how we need to set a culture in our schools so students understand that different places have expections.

When tracking these RSS feeds, I found some to have very little information from time to time and others too much information.  The NPR feed was just too much for me.  Everytime I went to look at this, it had about 80 to 100 new articles.  I found it to be too much to sort through.  The one RSS I really like was latest science news because it had great heading that allowed for me to quickly look for articles I could use in the classroom.  I also enjoyed the blog I was following but it was somewhat inconsistant with how frequently it was updated. 
What I found ironic about the contents I followed was that I found an article on blogging for teachers.  It covered a few different tips for what you should and should not do.  There was an article on bullying which caught my eye and then there was a blog that discussed respect.  The blog on showing respect could help with the many bullyings that are happening across the nation.  Another article was whether or not we would make it to space and if this was an advantage or a setback.  Finally, I found an article on how bateria is walking...interesting but somewhat disturbing. 

I found the google reader to be quite interesting.  It was nice to be able to quickly view new information for science.  I sometimes feel as though it takes hours to look at new discoveries that are happening in the science world but with reader, I was able to scan numerous articles in a matter of minutes.  I could not find articlest that were appropiate for the students, however I did find information that related to class that I coudl share with them.  I plan to continue to use this rss feed to find quick information about new science discoveries and new teaching strategies I can use in  my classroom.  I also plan on adding a few sports pages to keep up with what is happening in the sports world.
