Module 8 RSS and google reader

As an individual tool, this is great. Although I would have to play around with it before deciding to use it in the classroom. I can see students adding blogs or news sites that simply interest them rather than subject/work appropriate. It all comes down to educating them on propper use. I guess an interesting application in the classroom could be to create the reader as the teacher, add students in order for them to follow the relevant news/blogs etc. Other than this, create a class specific account, select the relevent sites, then, as a class, check on this each lesson, or once a week to keep up to date on new news/ideas that erlate to the given unit of work. The class could add to blogs, via the teacher to add to the educational dialogue. I feel this is one I need to use for a while before determining its use in the classroom. I guess for seniours who can be more selective and responsible, it could be a great tool for study, information and research gathering relevant to specific task and subject areas.
