Thing #8 Google Reader

I signed up w/ Google Reader and added national news, local news, and sports. This is really neat b/c you don't have to search for topics...it comes to you. I can use this in my classroom and personal life by staying on top of current affairs. Students love current affairs and it is a great way to have an awesome dialogue w/ students. Libraries can allow students to login into their student account and add Google Reader to their page...However, there needs to be some type of filter b/c we all know our students can tend to stay abreast on issues not appropriate for school.
