Thing 10: staying connected

I had dabbled in RSS feeds before taking this class, but the only things I had subscribed to were friends blogs. Usually they were travel blogs and I would keep up with them as they traveled across Mali or Peru, but after they came back from their trip their blog stopped and so did my reading them. Now I have several blogs and articles that I can keep current with that are always posting new and informative topics. I love that i can go to one location and catch up on everything I have missed if I haven't checked it in a few days. Everything will be waiting on me. I'm sure I could even find one that could be used as a potential bell ringer. Something new everyday to initiate thought and provoke discussion. That is a major goal for all teachers...to get students engaged!
