Thing #7c RSS again

RSS helps to keep me up to date with what’s happening in educational technology.  Sometimes it seems overwhelming, but that’s only when I neglect to check my feeds for weeks at a time.  Getting into a routine again will help I’m sure.  So what have I found?

After reading Clay Shirky’s book, Here Comes Everybody, I was especially interested in Will Richardson’s interview with Clay.  Chris Lehman, after reading Clay’s book, wrote an article on “Why is educational change so hard?”.  This was interesting in light of the changes we are trying to make in bringing Web 2.0 tools into our classrooms. 

On Educational Origami, I found an excellent article about 21st century assessment,  another area where change is difficult.

 

 

These feeds track education topics, but I’ve also found several math feeds to follow especially some podcasts with math puzzles and interesting information — Math Factor and MathGrad.

Thing #7b RSS continued

As I reviewed articles in my aggregator,  I found an interesting article about epistemic games in misterteacher.com.  The use of games to teach students to think and problem solve is a plus in math class.  The video shared some good ideas.  Using google reader can keep teachers up to date on areas of interest.  This is much easier than spending an afternoon to search through sites and blogs.
