I love RSS Readers!
Keeping track of information is a huge problem for me; I tend to be very forgetful and I get distracted easily. As you can probably guess, that is a really bad combination. One of my biggest problems is remembering what I read on a particular blog so that I can start at the next post. Google Reader is a wonderful tool for me, because it remembers what I have read and what I haven't read, making it very easy to keep up with everything. And it is all in one space, which removes the need for me to visit blog after blog only to realize that nothing has been posted.
One of the features that I love about Google Reader is how easy it is to sort blogs into folders by category. I can easily see how much I need to read in each of my folders. So far I have folders for Education 3040, Special Education, General Education, Catholicism, and News.
RSS Readers are a great way for teachers to have quick access to information on a variety of topics, from lesson plans to assistive technology to education law. Teachers could also use RSS to keep track of blogs written by their students. Instead of having to visit every blog to check for updates, they just get new posts all in one place.
