Thing 10

Create a Feedly account and subscribe to five feeds.  Describe what you like about RSS and Newsreaders.  How would you use this technology in the classroom, and how can teachers use RSS Reader?

American Historical Association
I joined the AHA to follow on Feedly because I have been on their website to gather information about what they do for history teachers, found links to resources and information, and they have conferences/seminars that are available to members.

Smithsonian
The Smithsonian has one of the largest historical collections available in world.  They provide information, references, guided online tours, etc that can be useful for history teachers.

Archaeology Magazine
The field of history is constantly changing based on new evidence found in archaeology.  Since archaeology is the field work for historians, this magazine is a tool for teachers going into either World History or U.S. History.

This Day in History
I subscribed to This Day in History because it often times draws its information from History.com and can be a fun bell ringer for history classes.

New York Times - Education
I subscribed to the NYT-Education because there is always news related to education, and this resource will provide live-time feeds of relevant information.

Free Tech for Teachers
My eyes have been opened finally for the technologies that are available online during this class, Educ5540.  I am going to have to continue to research technologies that can be used in history classrooms, as well as assistive technologies for students with disabilities.
