Feed Readers

 

Feed Readers-

There are may choices when it comes to feed readers. Though they are all a little different, they all help to keep you updated on the web content you subscribe to in one place. I chose Feedly mainly due to the extra feature of being able to share content and create notes. Feedly also includes an AI research assistant to analyze information and keep the clutter out of your feed. Inoreader and NewsBlur both work on the web, as well as IOS and Android devices. Feedreader Online has an intuitive interface with advanced filtering, a maximum capacity and different viewing modes. If you want a feed reader that will send you push notifications and is compatible with Chrome, FireFox, and Microsoft Edge, then Feeder is the best choice. Lastly, Good News is a feed reader with different virtual styles such as conic strip, blog blocks and pinboard (Liedke, 2023). A few of my favorite blogs I follow are:

Free Technology for Teachers (freetech4teachers.com)

A blog filled with free tutorials on all things technology, and it’s use in education. From using Google earth in the classroom to creating educational materials in Padlet and using eSkeletons app to digitally compare skeletons.

Home - MIDDLE-GRADE MOJO (middlegrademojo.com)

A blog containing middle grade book reviews, book trailers, a section all about writing, and so much more. Every month she posts a “must-read list” as well as author interviews. Also included are links to books celebrating earth day, world oceans day, and other popular days.

always learning (kimcofino.com)

A blog about all things learning. Posts about topics such as learning equity, pandemic coping strategies for teachers who had to teach virtually, and finding balance in technology. There is also a search bar included, as well as an extra feature of a photo stream on the right side of every page.

Middle Grades Maven

I follow Middle Grades Maven on Instagram because she posts great lessons that make learning fun at the middle school level. She has a Facebook and Pinterest account, as well as an account on TeachersPayTeachers. I have purchased a few of her lessons, and they have been a huge hit in the classroom.

Successful Teaching

This blog author, Patricia, posts about successful teaching strategies and celebrates national days. She also posts helpful tips and information that are useful outside of the classroom. Goal setting and general life skills are also discussed in her blog. Posts cover a wide range of grade levels and subjects, as well as modifications for special needs students.

    Hi,
    I too chose Feedly for my RSS Feed Reader. I loved the simplicity of the setup as well as the organization and simplistic interface. I tried Good News because I was intrigued by the variety of style options, but it was just too overwhelming for me. Thanks for sharing your blogs and great start to your Tumblr!

  Book Review-       Bibliography: Colandro, L. (2014).  THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY!  (J. D. Lee, Ill.). Cartwheel Books.     Plot Summary: The bestselling Old Lady series created its own version of the original, classic song: there was an old lady who swallowed a fly! In this story, the old lady swallows animals one after another until she ends up with a full house of lovable pets.   Critical Analysis: In this story, the plot is simple yet full of action and nonsense. When reading the text, there is a sense of rhythm and rhyme that makes it easy for students to follow along. The style of writing is simple and repetitive making it perfect for younger readers. The illustrations by J.D. Lee are detailed, hilarious and set the scene for the whole story.       Review Excerpts: Booklist Review- “Although there are many versions of this perennial favorite, this is one of the funniest an...

ISBN- 978-0142405963 Plot Summary-  Throughout World War II, in the conflict fought against Japan, Navajo code talkers were a crucial part of the U.S. effort, sending messages back and forth in an unbreakable code that used their native language.

  Book Review-   Bibliography: Wiesner, D. (2001).  THE THREE PIGS . Clarion Books.   Plot Summary: This version of the classic 3 little pigs story starts out seemingly familiar as three pigs are preparing to build houses out of straw, sticks and bricks. But when the Big Bad Wolf comes looking for a snack, he huffs and puffs the first little pig right out of the story and into the realm of pure imagination! From there begins a freewheeling adventure as they wander and fly through other stories, encountering a dragon and a cat with a fiddle, among others. This familiar tale will never be the same old story again.   Critical Analysis: The fable contains many common features associated with the fairy tale, with some fun surprises. This story is told from the point of view of the three pigs.  The pigs eventually join up with others, to travel to different stories and settings.  Once the characters leave their story, they inherit word...
