Thing #10, Set up an RSS Reader and Add Feeds

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” It is a file format for delivering regularly updated information over the web.
What I like about RSS is that I can choose which updates I want to receive that I feel are important to me in regards to my job and my community.
You can also use this in your personal life by setting up RSS so you know when your family members or friends update their blogs or websites. This saves you the trouble of actually going to each of these sites. Another "One-Stop Shopping" tool to simplify how you receive updates via the web using RSS feeds.
I chose the following 5 RSS feeds.

http://www.basic-mathematics.com/

http://www.ed.gov/

http://www.teachercertificationdegrees.com/

http://teachweb2.wikispaces.com/

http://www.discoverclarksville.com/articles

These are important to me and will keep me updated on certain topics. I wanted to follow basic mathematics because it is Middle School math teachers who get together and collaborate on how to use Web 2.0 technology in the classroom. I want to stay updated on this information.
Ed.gov keeps me in the loop on Federal Education changes / updates.
Teacher certification degrees gives me the tools I need as I am going through the process of becoming a Highly qualified / TN state teacher lisencure procedures.
Teach web 2.0 on wikispaces gives me even more ways to utilize technology in the classroom.
Discover clarksville will keep me in touch with my community and allows me to network for possible guest speakers in my classroom or businesses in the local area we might be able to conduct math research and projects to show students how math is important in the real world to solve problems.
