Feedly

Welcome to my very first post on my new blog. I have a couple of questions for those who have taken the time to stop by and read my blog. Do you spend a lot of your free time on Pinterest getting ideas for your classroom? Do you use Pinterest to help find other teachers' blogs to get classroom ideas? Well I was recently introduced to a wonderful website that creates easy access to different blogs, educational headlines, and helpful classroom techniques. I would like to share and talk about this website and how easy it is for you to use as well. I was first introduced to this site in my Educational Applications of Technology and Media class. This website is called Feedly, and I have found this website to be a helpful and easy tool to use for classroom settings. I  have attached at the bottom of this post a picture of my Feedly, just to show you how easy it for you to use.

One of the great parts about this site is it can be attached to your google account if you already have one set up. You just have to log in and it will allow you to start up your own Feedly. You can create your own tabs and then attach the blogs and sites that you want to follow, just like you do on Pinterest! As you can see in my picture, I have created two tabs so far, one I called Teaching Tools and the other Technology. When you are ready to start looking for articles and blogs all you have to do is click on Add Content, and type in the keywords you are interested in looking up. I like to click on the top sites and see what their headline stories are, and what kind of content they use, and see if they are useful for classroom use. If you like what you see on that site or blog then you can click Add at the bottom of the screen and attach it to any tab you have created or you can make a new one! The best way to view all the new content from the sites you have posted is to click All, under My Feedly.
