Thing #10

RSS is very convenient.  All your subscriptions are in the same place so it is easy to follow.  I could see it being useful in my personal life, but as for the classroom?  I'm not sure. I honestly don't think students will follow blogs with the zeal I would want them to unless it was something they were genuinely interested in.  For example, a kid who plays video games would defiantly follow a blog written by EA, but I doubt that this kid as my student would follow a blog I assigned.  I may use said blogs on Google Reader for a higher art class when I know students would have the interest and zeal to follow, but not for a lower art class when the students are there because they have to be, not because they want to be.  Overall, I like the Google Reader, but using it as a tool for teacher in my future classroom?  I'm a little iffy
