Thing # 11

Finding feeds that interest me was a bit more difficult than setting up the account. Usually Google rules the world. In this case Google blog searches sent me through a LOT of blogs that just didn't interest me though I did eventually find http://mathteachermambo.blogspot.com/ by going through a link on a related blog. I really enjoyed her blog about literal equations and making her class use the old M. C. Hammer song. That is thinking outside the box and I am sure that class will understand how to isolate a variable. I didn't care for syndic8.com. I felt that there are too many categories to find anything of relevance quickly which is the whole POINT of having a blog collection. Topix.net was really useful for finding local news feeds but I probably won't use it in education.

I have found the blogs and topic feeds primarily through related links on the feeds I found interesting. I know this is not the outcome that was expected but this is where my experience searching for RSS feeds lead me.
