Thing #11

Finding feeds was easiest for me through http://edublogawards.com/the-edublog-awards-2006-winners/ .I could view the award winners by years or by specific awards. The website’s set up is fantastic and I found it extremely easy to navigate.   http://www.technorati.com/ was the easiest search tool for me. The tutorial on how to accurately use it was also helpful. I especially enjoyed the guys accent of the tutorial. It made me laugh. I did not find http://www.topix.net/ or  http://www.syndic8.com/ to useful, actually they were kind of confusing. I understand the idea of using the search tool bar, I guess the layouts of the websites is what I found confusing.

Useful newsfeeds that I found:
Best Teach edu blog 2010 http://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/ I found Teacher Tom’s blog interesting and fun. I think you all should have a look. He offers neat activities that could be used in the classroom.
http://blog.schoollibrarymedia.com/index.php/2010/12 I found this blog through Google blog search and typing in “school library learning 2.0”. I found this particular blog useful because only one blog is posted a month. The blogger also post posts about critical school issues. One that I read included information about summative assessments.
http://www.freetech4teachers.com/ I found this website through http://www.technorati.com/ . All I did was search for teachers and plethora of information flowed in. I decided on free technology for teachers because the use of technology in the classroom is continuing to increase and being able to keep up with all the free technology out there is a great bonus.
