Another great way to add to your PLN is to browse the blogosphere. I would hope that you have already started this process, because you are reading Teaching All Students.

RSS Feed issues
This weekend I was forced to change my RSS feed over to Google. There is some indication that there might be issues with this change over. If you are currently subscribed and have not received new posts in a few days (I posted everyday this weekend) please let me know and I will see what we can do to fix it. Hopefully this will not be a big issue.

Why use a RSS reader?
Why not is my question. So you only read one blog (hopefully mine!) and don't really need to track multiple blogs, but that's not it's only use. Check out Louis Gray's post about the 30 different uses for RSS. This list has many great ideas for ways to use a RSS feed and a reader (like Google Reader) to make your life easier.
Again why not? Because it's easy - follow these simple steps:
1. Go to Google Reader - reader.google.com
2. sign up for a google account
3. Once signed up, click the "add subscription" link on the left side
4. type in - http://teachingall.blogspot.com
5. That's It! you are subscribed and will receive the posts each day in one place.
6. Need more blogs for your reader - check out the blogroll on the right side of my blog (you may need to scroll down)
7. Once you go to their blog, you can click their link that says Subscribe to this blog or look for a orange icon. Click and add to google reader.
Happy blog finding!

RSS Readers
I know I've done a post on this, but it bears repeating. If you are reading this blog by checking it everyday, you are losing valuable time. RSS readers allow you to see all the different news and blogs you like to read on a daily basis in one place. Karen Jankowski of EdTech Solutions has posted a great set of links that explain RSS in plain english as well as provide tutorials on how to set it up:
RSS Readers
RSS readers bring in content from news sources (CNN, Newspapers, Drudge Report...), blogs, even photo sites like flickr. It's a great way to keep up on all your important reading!

Google Reader
I would like to thank Paul Hamilton for the today's post.
As I have been starting to do this blog, I've become more interested in other blogs. If you look at the right hand side, of this page you will find at least 5 that I currently check out each day, and if I'm honest that's not even a full list. If you're like me you don't remember much by yourself, so that Means I have to bookmark each site, and remember to go to it each day. There's an easier way.
I was reminded of this by Paul, when I was reading his blog (so make sure to check his out), RSS Readers. RSS is like a ticker - every time something changes on a page, it updates the ticker and you see the result. You have to subscribe to the "feed", which will allow you to see the changes. To see the feed you need a "reader" which understands RSS, one like the Google Reader. Here's a photo of what it looks like:
Once you sign up for Google Reader (actually if you have a gmail account it is the same password), you can click the Add Subscriptions link on the left side of the screen and add a blog (like teachingall.blogspot.com), newspaper, or anything that has an RSS feed. To find these feeds go to a website, like Chicagotribune.com and look on the bottom of the page for the RSS link, once that page opens you can copy the address, then use the add subscriptions link to add it to your reader.
Once you've added some link you will see that they are listed, and all the "new" posts are listed. You can then read the new ones and ignore the old ones if you want. You can also see all the items you've subscribed to, so you can see if blogs have been updated, thus having all the information in one place.
The other nice feature of Google Reader is that you can save posts (by clicking the star), e-mail/share posts with friends, and you will never lose them, because just like Gmail, you have basically infinite storage. Hope this will help all, keep reading and please feel free to comment on any of my posts. I'd love to get some feedback!
