Learning about RSS Feeds

This was quite the task for me. I have never really noticed RSS feeds before and the idea of finding appropriate ones for my purposes and adding them to my blog seemed just about impossible. Fortunately, us students were provided with a step-by-step tutorial concerning how to accomplish this task. I learned a lot about not only what an RSS feed was but also how to add additions to my blog. I was especially excited about the goodreads account we set up this week. I love children's literature and the idea of having a place online where I can find my favorite children's books as well as see other individuals choices of books seems like a wonderful resource for my future classroom. I think it will be very helpful to look at the booklists of others in order to see what they have read and what they suggest for the classroom. I plan on using this resource while teaching in order to find out what good books are available and what might students might be interested in. Also, through the goodreads account, I will be emailed with updates on new books and applications which can also support teaching literacy in the classroom.
