I have been using Google Reader for a week now. I added all the required items plus a few that I thought would be interesting. I added a comment on the use of blogs in teaching as I had been wondering about that. I found that it was hard to keep up on all the things that were posted! But a lot of the information was interesting and informative. I tried to star the ones I wanted to keep to reread in the future so that seems a good way to narrow the selection down. Some days the sites posted multiple articles or blogs and some days there was nothing. I learned a quite a bit by reading through my feeds. First of all I learned that other people are doing the same things I am and that there is information on everything out there! I think I could use this to keep up on the latest news in my area without having to search the whole web and could be a good time saver.
I love my reader, but I don't have the time to keep up with anymore. I do have some fun ones that I follow. I have all recipes and when I am stymied for what to prepare for dinner, I will check it out.They are easy things to fix so I like that.
ReplyDeleteI was bummed when Bloglines went away as that was my favorite.
I decided to revisit my RSS blog as I've now been following my Google Reader for a few weeks. I have been trying to check it when I first get into work each day so I think I've been doing a pretty good job of keeping up on the feeds. I have to admit I don't read every one of the feeds. I check to see if it interests me and if it does I "STAR" it, read it or save it to go back and read it later.
