Google Reader allows me to manage a high volume of blog websites. It saves time because I do not have to click on each blog I want to read; instead it all comes to me. I have also learned that I can set up folders in my Google Reader to help manage the different sites. I have loved Google for a long time now so I use it as my homepage. I can connect Google Reader to my Google homepage which is set up to have unread items waiting for me. The blogs are organized based on my preferences.
From what I have heard about teaching, time is a teacher’s biggest adversary. I have begun to learn that there are a lot of educational resources available online and I will not have the time to surf through all of them. So, Google Reader is a great way for me to be able to cut down on wasted time looking from site to site for new information. As a teacher I can use Google Reader to organize current news information, educational sites, and blogs. For example, I noticed that Twitter has a RSS feed, which Google Reader can connect to. I can keep up with the educators that I learn the most from on a daily basis without having to visit the Twitter account every day.
