Thing #10

I have never used RSS reader before, to be honest I have never even heard of it. I am glad I do now though, it is such a great tool! What I like most about it is that it is super easy to use. After setting up my account which only took a few minutes, I immediately saw the subscribe button and started adding feeds to my reader. The first thing i added was the pioneer women because after you showed us in class i fell in love with that blog and find it to be so interesting, quilty i know. I also think the recommended subcribers link is very cool. It brings up a whole page of other readers you might be interested in subscribing too.

I think RSS is an awesome tool for any teacher. Not only does it help you organize, but it also saves you time, which are two very important things for teachers. I think teachers could use RSS to share websites and links that they find for students when discussing certain topics. I also think many links and websites could be provided to the parents using RSS, such as the school website or tutorials to help the children with homework at home. RSS is also a great way to follow other teachers blogs and get updates on what they are doing in their classroom that might also work for you. It is a great and efficient way to share ideas and i think all teachers would enjoy it if they took the time to  make one.
