RSS Feeds

I really don't know a whole lot about this. I do know that you can use the RSS icon to save links to blogs. In case you were wondering the icon looks like this:




It's kind of an annoying little beast, but it's pretty useful if you can see it on a page. As far as I can tell, when you use it you bookmark a page to be able to read it as soon as it is updated. One way I've noticed that it can be used is to subscribe to blog feeds. Depending on the blog the link can be added to your Google Reader, or it gets saved in your bookmarks. I used it to subscribe to a couple different blogs. the first was a blog set up by the School Library Journal. It's titled Good Comics for Kids. Here's the link if you're interested: http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/goodcomicsforkids. I really liked this blog because Graphic Novels have become such an important tool in teaching kids how to read. Not only that, but they are an easy reader for those who may not read as well as they might like to. It's always good to get new ideas as to whats out there in the Graphic Novel market, and what is safe for children, since some can be a bit sketchy. Another one I found that I really liked was http://www.freetech4teachers.com/. I really liked this and found it really handy since I'm always looking for handy new ways of using technology, and I'm sure that when I actually have a job in a school somewhere this blog will be particularly helpful in instructing with technology. I also really like this blog because it give links to websites that teachers can use to collaborate with one another and swap ideas regarding lessons following the criteria of the core. I'll have to give you more blogs when i manage to get a hold of some I like, cause right now I'm just not finding them :D
Happy Reading!
