is a really fun, useful tool. It’s nice to be able to read the new postings or articles from my favorite blogs and websites all in one place. The video RSS in Plain English does a good job of explaining how to set up a reader and add feeds. The video says that the reader will save time. I’m not sure about that since I will probably add more and more favorite sites and end up reading a lot more than I do now. But it is definitely convenient.RSS could be useful in a school library because it would allow students and staff to have quick access to sites that they are using for school work.
I added quite a few feeds to my Google Reader. Here are some of my favorites.
Websites:
OrangeBloods.com—news about athletics at The University of Texas
Baylor Proud—news about Baylor University
Blogs:
School Library Monthly—lots of good information for (surprise!) school librarians
Poetry for Children—tips on finding and sharing poetry. This is written by one of the professors I had at TWU, so it is a real favorite.
Just for fun, I also subscribed to this blog--just to see what would happen.
By the way, I love the I Has a Hot Dog site mentioned in the lecture notes. I guess that’s because I have a wire-haired dachshund.
