I like the Google Reader. I taught a blogging class with a fellow SBISD employee and she taught me a lot about Google Reader. It makes it easy to check for current posts without going to individual sites. Saves time and energy!
If I started bloggin with students again it might be helpful. When I did it before the teacher tool let me know if anything was updated. If I used a different site then that would not be an option, so the Google Reader would be great. As for my personal life, I only subscribe to some myspace blogs. I get an alert there so no need to use the Reader. If I ever subscribed to more rss feeds then I'd use it for sure.
I'm not sure how libraries can use this technology. I know I have seen some great sites out there for the kids to see what is going on in their library. Since I left the elementary world I haven't been as connected to what is going on in the library.

I wish you were still teaching Reading. It would be great to work with you more in the library. We need to find a connection with math and the library so we can collaborate! Could you think of a research project that you do with the 6th graders where you could schedule time to come to the library to research rather than using the COWs?

Hi Karie,
Holly here. I'm so impressed with all of your experience! I don't even know what you're talking about half of the time. Now I'm going to go look it all up and maybe learn something.
