Thing 4 (RSS)

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there - how do handle information overload and how do you think RSS might help?

I feel completely overwhelmed, ad I think that RSS can definitely help with reducing that feeling. It has made me more aware of the things that I don't know that my students are, more likely than not, using daily.  

Another major issue I am feeling is not knowing how to do a good search to find blogs that really pertain to the things I am interested in. I don't even know if I have math teacher friends that look at other math blogs. I will have to start that conversation at lunch one day to see if anyone is reading anything they especially like. 

yeah, overwhelmed is an understatement.

I agree - it is challenging to find blogs that specifically meet your needs, but when you do find one, it is well worth the search. Recommendations from others who share your interests is another good source. One math blogger I like is Darren Kuropatwa from Manitoba - A Difference. He uses blogs in his math classes where students are assigned to be the class scribe and post notes from the day's class.
