RSS for Educators


My new copy of RSS for Educators just arrived purchased from ISTE with Social Studies Department funds. I anticipate learning a lot about blogs, newsfeeds, podcasts, and wikis and how to use them in the classroom; particularly in conjunction with attendance at the NECC convention this summer in San Antonio, TX.

Speaking of which, I am practicing using a wiki with my American History class this semester so I can get the feel of it. This wiki can be found at http://historytrek.wikispaces.com although it is set to private. Mainly I am getting comfortable with managing the wiki and trying out a few collaborative ideas. We will see how it goes.
