Post #6

Google Reader is an incredibly convenient and helpful tool now as a student, and I believe that it will still be as helpful and relevant in my professional career moving forward. It's a very useful and easy to manage tool that keeps me updated with so much information. I'm not generally one who goes out of my way to check up on the U.S. Department of Education or even The Riverfront Times, but this is an easy way to check up and manage all of that content. It may be an overwhelming amount of information sometimes, but it will be nice to have all of this relevant content to just scroll through some days. As stated in an earlier post, I am a member of NCTE and subscribe to their newsletter, so most of the information posted on their feed I am already aware of. However, it will be nice to have it all here in chronological order to quickly pick out. Google Reader can also be utilized for my students as a way to follow certain feeds for a research paper or some other research based assignment.
