BP_4_2010012_RSS Feeds
I have listed my five RSS feeds below in no particular order. I have listed my rationale behind choosing each one of these feeds as well as the name of the RSS.
Education WhiteHouse.gov- I choose to follow this one because I think it's important for all teachers to know what is going on in regards to education. In our school we departmentalize our subjects and Social Studies is my gig. There is a wealth of information here that I am able to use in the classroom as well as keep me current as a citizen.
Polk-fl.net/pd360 – is a great site they have available to our district for the educators. They show videos for just about anything that would help us in the classroom. I watched a series of them on being more positive in the classroom and how well it worked and tried a few of the tips and they were great. There are also articles available about the news that is most current.
Baynews9.com – this is our local news channel and they have been helpful to me in many ways. My students love to come in and share stories about local news but don’t always have the right information. I have been able to bring up this website and share what it has to say and has been a good way to discuss current events. I have also gained ideas for projects from the Everyday Heroes they showcase on this website.
Landmark-project.com/classweb/tools.html – is another great place to go and I frequent there because it gives me ideas for my website I use for my students and parents. They have fill in forms, mailing lists, as well as HTML tutorials. This is helpful because they give you samples to look at, which is very helpful to me.
Web 2.0 Tools and Applications – Go2web20 – this has been my favorite place to frequent by far because there are so many places to visit that it could take months to see them all. This is where I have found all of my tools so far to use for this class and have also found things I am interested in personally. I love movies and there was a movie clip place and I spent some time there watching clips from some movies that I might possibly be able to use in the classroom.
