Online Class Agenda

This is the presentation for my class' Online learning opportunity.

Web-based RSS Readers

I can't take credit for this:

http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/top-10-web-based-rss-readers/

This is a great article which describes ten of the best online RSS readers. These are such an intrinsic part of using an RSS feed that I thought I would put a list together. These guys beat me to it.
 
The ten they name are these:

• Google Reader
• bloglines
• mySyndicant
• myAlltop
• NewsIsFree
• Superfeedr
• Fever
• Netvibes
• Collected
• Lazyfeed

I personally use Google Reader. Are you going to use another? Let me know by commenting. I'd like to hear what you think.

Online Educational Communities

I came across this site as I was looking for some new tools to help me connect to teachers of British Lit in the UK to see how we could connect in some way. I thought this was a good enough tool that I should share it with others who were interested in online networking in education.

Have a great Sunday!

The Village Academy

This is a great summary of one of the great educational acheivements of our day. I am impressed with the administrator's approach to education, but what do you think?

21st Century Skills Site

In preparing for teaching my class on Tech & Topics tonight, I was looking at the 21st century skills and the overview put together by the organization who is really spearheading the 21st century skills initiative. The overview site is here:

http://p21.org/route21/

I think they have somethings right, and some things are related to historical learning. My question for the class is whether my students think that these 21st century skills are a fad that will fade away like movements such as whole language.

Please reply, let me know.
