Thank goodness that cleaning up an RSS feed is easier than cleaning house ;0! I definitely needed to revisit the RSS. It's not a habit for me, yet. I love the popular education bookmarks from delicious. That will be a timesaver. Coincidentally I got an email telling me about a new site, hoodamath. I haven't checked it out, yet but was intrigued to get an email from the company that started it. This web marketing is pretty new to me, too. I've always been inundated with the Amazon suggestions, but this email kept stressing the free website. I'll be looking for the catch.
Because I read both Detroit papers on line, daily, subscribing to their news feeds did not appeal to me. I have ditched my magazine subscriptions, though so the U.S. News education feed was a natural to add to my Bloglines account. I am committing myself to checking my account on Monday mornings. This is a late start for me at work and I should have time after reading the papers!
What I'd love to help students do is set up an account and then monitor it for relevant current events topics. Because of the potential for inappropriate content, I'm going to let that idea percolate for awhile.
