Thing 7

Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use? I really liked Google's bloglines search. It was easy to use, and I found what I was looking for. I was able to find a book talk podcast RSS that I've subscribed to. I also did an Itunes search to download that podcast onto a computer for broadcast to our students during their homeroom time.
Which Search tool was the easiest for you? Technorati was blocked at our school. Again with the blocking! Syndic8 was too hard for me to use. I liked Topix for news.

What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels? I'm most excited about my New Yorker, Poetry, and Book Talk feeds. I'm going to lurk and listen for a while, and then try to broadcast some using Itunes and an Averkey.

What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds? Using Itunes worked for me because I already have CNN Student News running as a feed which we broadcast to the school during their homeroom time.

I think I will find RSS feeds as an efficient way to keep up on topics of interest to me and my students. It is so much information to absorb and understand that I'm not sure I have a grasp of just what this stuff is. But I think it's cool! And I'm ready to explore.
