I hope everyone had a nice week. I just wanted to take a few moments to share a picture of my Feedly page. One awesome thing that I would like to mention about this tool is the organization system that comes with it. I was able to sort all of the blogs and websites I am following into categories to make my Feedly easier to search. Right now my only categories are "education" and "news," but I am considering breaking "education" up into smaller pieces such as "Phonics," "Literature Circle Ideas," "Basic Math," etc.
I have also been wondering how, or if, Feedly could be used in the classroom. Feedly may just be a personal resource, but I think it would be nice if a class had a Feedly page where students could follow safe, age appropriate, teacher approved blogs, but I am not sure if Feedly has a classroom option. The blogs could also be split into categories similar to what I described above if students wanted more information about a certain topic discussed in class. However, I would be concerned about students adding inappropriate blogs and links to the page. What do you guys think or does anyone have any recommendations for similar, classroom-friendly sites?
Professor Siko,
ReplyDeleteI feel like all of the screenshots I post are low quality. Do you have any tips to make them look better? The first few sites I googled failed me. Thanks!
Not really. You're dealing with a compressed space on the blog post itself. A higher resolution picture won't help. Not a big deal.
ReplyDeleteOk, thank you :)
