#30 RSS Feeds and Delicious

I went back and took a look at Google reader. I added some new blogs that I want to follow. I also looked at the speed reading tool Spreed. I thought it was a neat tool but not really practical.
I went back and loaded the Delicious tool bar on my browser. I have been adding bookmarks like crazy. I have also used it to gather resources for a staff development training I was doing on Marzino's key instructional strategies. I found Delicious had a ton of sites bookmarked. Very helpful.

#29 Google Tools

WOW! Google is taking over the world. I am a fan of many of the Google tools. I have a gmail account but have been using yahoo for so long, making the change now would be difficult. At some point I may go for a paid yahoo account which would allow me to check it from the gmail page and also some of the custom start pages (see #28). I think that the calendar feature could be very useful to teachers who want to create their own web pages and are using something like blogger or pbwiki. However I do think there are better options for a teacher page then blogger or pbwiki.
I thought that the Goog411 thing rocks. I haven't tried it yet but think it would come in handy when traveling.
The Google health app also looks really interesting. I checked and my hospitals, clinics, etc. are not yet available for data impute. I'm not ready to start loading my info yet but think the possibilities are interesting.
