Finding Resources Through RSS Feeds

I love RSS feeds! I subscribe to several and I am always finding new ideas for the elementary classroom. (To learn more about RSS Feeds, click here.) My two favorite blogs are Free Technology for Teachers and iLearn Technology. Recently Richard Byrne, author of Free Tech for Teachers, blogged about a fabulous resource. It is full of Web 2.0 tools organized by function such as podcasting or blogging as well as by topic such as fair use or privacy. Click here to read about the STHS Library Guides' collection of Web 2.0 tools.

I also enjoy free e-books. Richard Byrne has posted several e-books. One of my favorites is The Super Book of Web Tools for Educators. It is written by bloggers, teachers, and school administrators. Click here to read his blog post about the book and links to the authors' website/blog. Two of the authors, Kelly Tenkely (former elementary teacher, current technology integration specialist) and Lee Kolbert (elementary teacher) have blogs that I follow as well. (Click on their name to see their blog.) All three have wonderful ideas and resources for elementary classrooms. For this weeks post, explore the Web 2.0 tools OR read through The Super Book of Web Tools for Educators. Read about the resources in the Elementary School section and the Blogging in Elementary School Classrooms section. Tell us your Top 3 resources for classroom use. How could you use these tools with your students?
