Artifacts: Google Reader
Reflection:
Google Reader is a way to add news feeds to one website instead going to multiple website. The news feed can range from newspapers, podcasts, blogs or magazine articles. The subjects of the news feed can range from sports, arts and crafts, local to national news, education, environment, etc. The type new feeds are endless.
The news feeds that I have chosen have to do with education, technology, and environment. This is a way for me to read about the events in education and the different technologies that can be used in the classroom, especially when it is free.
With the environment, I am staying current with the environmental issues and positive actions in Florida for revitalizing animal life and well as the Everglades. From what I have learned from the environmetal articles or tips on technology, I can apply it to the classroom.
I learned there are so many websites, apps, and digital tools I can use in the classroom and with my students. It must be tested to ensure that it is not blocked in my school and students are able to use it. I would like to add articles about immigration, WIDA and national news. It is great idea to stay on top of any issues that could be real-world related for the students to solve expecially when it involves the students and their families.
The news feed that are currently on my Google Reader were recommended by the professors of the Instructional Technology program, and others were due to interest. I have used some of the environmental articles which helped the students understand about the state of Florida. I conducted this lesson for the third graders a few years ago. It helped them for their annual test.
