Thing 8: RSS Feeds

I am in love with Feedly! I followed a fellow blogger's advice and joined Feedly for my RSS newsfeeds. Wow!. It was so easy to navigate. My previous request for a news bundle was automatically transferred from googlereader.

Feedly made it easy for me to search my favorite topics. I first chose School Librarians. Feedly allowed me to add School Library Journal to my newsfeeds. I was then able to create categories of interest, so I separated my news from my library/education category. Exploring further, I  found a great blog, The Innovative Educator,  that I added to my library/education category. Other sources I have tagged in this category are: NPR Education and NPR/Guardian Book News, Reviews and Author Interviews.

I am planning on using Feedly for personal uses as well, I added the categories of food/recipes and now want to read all the recent posts of Foodnetwork.com's blog. 

I've tagged an article I read in School Library Journal about creating 'white noise' in the library. I've also tagged an article from The Innovative Educator's blog about using older technology (plug-in phones, VCRs and large monitors) as new teaching tools.
