Thing 8 - RSS and Readers

I had seen the icons on various web pages but never knew what they were for. Now I know. I created a Google Reader and set up a couple of news feeds that I am interested in. Some are personal and some are professional. I don't have many right now because I don't have much time to get on the Internet and read blogs or feeds.

I know RSS is supposed to save a lot of time. I get that. You don't have to go to all these different sites to read what you are interested in. You go to one site and get all the news and blogs you need. My only problem is that I hardly get on the Internet to read. I will try to work on this more, there is a lot of useful information out there.

On a personal level, I can subscribe to friends blogs and celebrity gossip. On a professional level, I can subscribe to blogs and feeds that pertain to my field. I think I wouldn't separate the two for myself.

At the school level, a public Reader can be set up that someone updates. That way all teachers will be able to access it and get helpful information and new ideas.

I like it. But to be honest, I probably won't use it as often.

About Me

My photo
Is it possible for one person to be many things? First off, I am a wife. I married the most wonderful man in the world on January 17, 2009. His name is Victor. We are currently enjoying our time getting to know each other even more as husband and wife. I am a daughter. My parents have been happily married for 41 years. Their names are Cutberto and Esther. I am a sister. I have the most amazing pair of sisters. Their names are Maria and Minerva. I also have 3 brothers whose names are Ramiro, Cutberto, and Orlando. I am the youngest of the six! I am an aunt. I have 5 nephews and 5 nieces. I am a teacher. I teach 2nd grade and love it. I teach bilingual (Eng/Span) education, self-contained. Those kids can always make you smile! I am a student. In January 2009 I began the Masters in Library Science program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I am enjoying my classes very much. You wouldn't believe how much I have grown and learned in the past 6 months. Which brings me to my last "I am"... I am an aspiring librarian. I have always wanted to be one. I would like to find a job in the district that I work in now, but we shall see where God will take me!
