For my google reader I decided to add the blog Educational Resources blog. This has a lot of helpful problem solving ideas for teachers to use. I chose to comment on an entry titled "Pencil Dilemma" which talked about the issue of losing and breaking pencils in class. This has been an issue for me in the past and I have tried to find a solution for it. Like the entry, I have tried many things, but nothing worked. In one of the comments someone suggested putting velcro on the pencil and the desk for students to put when not in use. I will definitely try this!
I also added Creating Lifelong Learners, which focuses on integrating technology into education. This will provide ideas and articles on how to integrate technology into my teaching. The Science Fix site I added has many great science ideas to engage students. The Math Hub Blog has many great ideas on how to use technology to improve math achievement. Since I teach elementary school, I teach all subjects so I wanted to find a variety of sites to help with all subjects and integrating technology into them.
As I check my feed, I am seeing that most of them are not updated but every few weeks at the most. Even though this is the case, I am able to go back through the older posts and find some great information. There is plenty of information for me to use and as I find more sites I will add them to my feed.
I have found new ideas on problem solving in the classroom and also how to keep students engaged. I hope to keep learning more and more as I follow my feeds. Right now I am a building substitute teacher, so I cannot apply everything I learn just yet. I look forward to using these feeds to help me when I have a classroom of my own!
