We are living in an age where we are neither all digital or all paper in regards to how we communicate. When I read about technology, I get rather overwhelmed because there is so much out there to absorb and learn. Although there are many kinds of technology out there to enhance learning and education, I research only the ones that are of the utmost importance to my students and my professional and private life. I enjoyed reading about Google Reader in Will Richardson's Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. This is one of the most interesting technological tool I have come across. I was captured by the concept of having the news and information being sorted and relevant for my view. I researched how others were using Google Reader both personally and professionally. I wanted to know if using one email address where all the students have access or individual addresses worked better for elementary students. I would love to have my students use this tool for their research projects. This will broaden their research beyond Wikipedia. Here are some ideas from an elementary computer teacher in Philadelphia.
