Resource of the Week - Feedly
One of the greatest parts about the growing number Burlington teachers who have started sharing the happenings from their classrooms online with classroom blogs and websites is that I am able to see all of the neat things happening across the district on a daily basis. While there is no substitute for being in classrooms to see the learning firsthand, there is simply no way to stay on top of all of the wonderful work of staff and students.
This is where Feedly comes in. Feedly is a FREE resource that allows you to see all of the blogs you follow in one place. The best part is that you can use it on a smartphone, a tablet, or a laptop and scroll through the latest posts from the sites that you follow. For educators, it is a great way to follow your colleagues or blogging educators from across the globe. It is also a great way to have students follow bloggers who are writing about topics that connect to a unit or entire course.
If you are interested in giving Feedly a spin, here is a link to a tutorial post that explains how to get started. I would just begin with the top three tips if you are a new user. As always, please let me know if I can help you or your class get started with this great resource!
