Did you know that an Aggregate or RSS is a way to stay on the top of your game with OUT spending hours surfing the web? Yeah! So for all of you that would rather play with the tulips and daffodils while staying employed--here is the BEST of both worlds!
I like Mozilla's Sage and Google's Reader RSS/Aggregates. These services allow you to type in what you need to find. Finds the best articles and sites that match your criteria and allows you to sift through the "headlines". It's the best!
I wanted to find ways to encourage my students to get excited about writing. I typed in "teachers, writing." In nothing flat I had a page of headlines to zoom through. I was able to find out innovative ways to get them to drop the hammer down (or what ever expression fits keyboarding...) I think that my favorite was the TUBE prodcasts.
The students prepared PowerPoint and Videos mixed together. The one I really loved was called the "Idiom Ninja." I highly suggest watching this one! It's a riot.
