WEEK 4 thing 8

Exploring RSS was really interesting.  I subscribed to five different sites that were interesting to me.  I like how google reader looks just like your email account with new articles listed and articles you already read not being highlighted.  
This can help me in my personal life by I have sports and finances as one of my sites that interest me.  I enjoy keeping updated with sports and finances especially with the prices going up on the cost of living.  For my professional life I read about different science experiments or concepts. Science is an area I need to work on as an educator and one of my professional goals for the last two years.  Since I have really been focusing on the subject and educating myself through reading I have become to enjoy teaching science more.    
These articles would be a great addition to the library by giving more resources to students.

I have to admit that for a long time I really didn't get the RSS thing but I have become a convert. Just take this class for example. No way would I be able to keep up with 9 blogs without my googlereader!!!

It all comes down to finding something that you are really interested in following, and then it is clear.
