Thing 7C Google Readers are great in Theory
I think RSS feeds are a great idea. I know I should be checking mine every day, but by the time I get through my home emails, meals with the family, working 3 jobs, etc. there is not much time left over for browsing through RSS feeds. I am going to spend some time streamlining my RSS feeds, just keeping my favorites and see if that helps a bit.
In the meantime, I do enjoy the posts from Doug Johnson. He had one that I thought was great and that summed up for educators what being a teacher is all about in this age of 2.0. From his blog I found a link to another blog which I thought summed up for me what being a teacher-librarian in this age of the internet and Web 2.0 is all about, and summed up what should be my goals after taking this class. The blog listed what I will do as a school librarian with my Web 2.0 tools, so check out this great link!

Streamlining your RSS feed to those few that you really love reading is the best idea ever. Doug Johson is one person I follow and love reading all the time. The blog you link to was really good. Great tips for implementing.
Many people I know subscribe to way more than they could possibly read and just search across their feeds whenever they’re interested in something. This provides search results tailored to their interests, as opposed to what you’d get back from Google.
