I can see how this could be a great addition to organizing the web sites someone visits and the searches that are done to find information. I wish I had known about this feature when I started my Masters Degree in Literacy. The online course platform that the college uses has the ability to post web pages, that might be of interest to those in your class. I have saved so many of the these in notebook, and am looking forward to organizing these sites in a place where they can be shared with others easier.
I am going to be creating an electronic portfolio for my Masters Degree in the next 7 weeks. I can see where using some of these things we are learning will enhance my portfolio and help it stand out from others.
I also see where so much of these things will help my students to be more engaged in their learning. So many of these things will be things they will use and come into contact with as they progress throughout their lives. I am glad that I will be able to help introduce them to these things.
At my local union I look forward to introducing many to these items that will only engage not only our officers, but hopefully spread to our apprentices and our members as well.
So if you are reading this and not a part of the class I am taking, please take a look at Google READER at: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user%2F05289752372913673464%2Flabel%2Fblogs

Wow. Great share with your Google Reader. I need to try and set mine up like that. Very cool. My question has to do with the things that Richardson talked about regarding the new reading skills that students will develop using tools such as RSS Feeds. I saw that you got your Masters in Literacy. This digital world has probably made a huge impact on the way that students read. Has that made an impact also on how reading is now being taught?
