I had seen RSS in different sites, yet I had never paid much attention to them. After reading the information about Thing 6, I was interested in finding more about them. I looked at the different links regarding RSS feeds and then made an account in Bloglines. I was not sure where to begin, but after reading the Help section I was able to understand that I was supposed to add the different urls of blogs and sites. I visited the 100 best blogs for teachers and found many that seem helpful and interesting. I wanted to have blogs with current information about education policy and also classroom/lesson plan ideas. I also added the sites that were in Dr. Wilson's blog- Learning 2.0, the Reader's Club new book review feeds, and the Unshelved. I then organized the RSS feeds and News Feeds into different tabs in Bloglines: Education News, Web 2.0, Classroom Ideas, Literature, and Others.
After organizing them, I was able to explore the newsfeeds. Each of them has valuable information that displays the most current news as they are published in the blogs and sites. They help everyone stay informed and Bloglines helps keep the rss and newsreaders organized and in one place easy to access.
I tried to make my Bloglines page public, but I was not sure how to do so- yet I will continue to try.
Great job!
