Thing 5 - RSS & Google Reader

RSS is real simple syndication. It's like an "Easy Button" for connecting yourself to other blogs, websites and social networks. I have found that it is a convenient way to create links and shortcuts to blogs that are not a part of Blogger.

Google Reader is like my own personal newspaper. I pick and choose what is interesting to me. I have subscribed to several of the bloggers from our group, a cousin's blog, blogs associated with FaceBook and Twitter and Time4Kids...which I use in my classroom.

These are valuable tools to add to the technology toolbox...I know that I will use them.
