  • ong declared dead in some circles, feed readers remain an outstanding way for students to self-select fresh new content about whatever they’re interested in.  I strongly believe that we should spend time helping our secondary students to set up a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Apple’s Reeder).  Once that is complete, in-class time should be spent helping students subscribe to each other’s blogs (if applicable) and to other blogs in content areas they find interesting. 
  • Voila!  In as little as two class periods, you can help students to create their own free, individualized collection of reading material, delivered directly to them as soon as more content is published, which will never run out.  Research has shown that students with more access to good reading material in their homes tend to attain higher levels of education in their own lives.

    A blog post from August 20, 2012 that discusses the value of RSS feeds for providing a never ending source of reading material based on interests and enjoyment. In a very short time, students can create their own free, individualized collections of reading material.  That kind of access contributes to many students achieving a higher level of knowledge than would have be possible otherwise. Another side effect of using RSS feeds is that students might be encouraged to write more blog posts themselves, and interact with other students' posts.

    Written in 2004, this article discusses the idea of requiring students to submit work through blogs that are available to the public, and why that method can be of benefit to growth of students as writers.

    A great lesson idea from readwritethink. Students predict the content of a post by reading the "advertisement" for that post in an RSS feed. After making predictions, students write those in a T-chart. Then they read the blog post and figure out if predictions were right. They use the other side of the t-chart to indicate whether their predictions were accurate or not.  If students were inaccurate, ask them to explain their thinking Why was their prediction inaccurate? What would have helped them to make an accurate prediction?

  • The site’s text blocks have a limited number of characters so students must write concisely and succinctly.
  • The visual, audio, and textual elements in producing the videos help students produce visual messages and strengthen visual literacy skills.
  • ocabulary study tool. First she created a private Google Group for her students. After each student is assigned a vocabulary word, they locate pictures on the Internet that represents their word. After pictures are uploaded to the site, they add text for a title, definition and pronunciation of the word.
