Thing 8: RSS Feeds

In my search of RSS Readers, I realized I had been using Pulse and Flipboard on my Kindle for over a year.  I just didn't realize they were RSS Readers. HA!

When I started using these readers, I never actually subscribed to anything, but during the initial start up the Readers asked me to select things I'm interested in.  From that it selected materials, they thought I would like.  Great mind readers!! Now I have imported my feeds from Google Reader to these RSS Readers so no need to worry after July 1st.  Just to be extra cautious I also joined Feedly and imported my Google Readers feeds into that too.  Problem solved!

In my search of mentor blogs, I found a post from a blogger/teacher who used Pulse on iPads with his class. Cool learning, Dynamically delivered, RSS feeds for Upper Elementary What a great way to incorporate technology, current new, and student interests!! This blogger has also recommended feeds that he uses with his students.  Our district will be issuing Dell Tablets to every teacher and student next school year, and this is definitely something I would like to try with my students!!
