Thing #11 Finding Good Feeds


I may not have created a circle of the wise in the conventional sense of the word but I definitely think I chose blogs that will keep me entertained and even to some extent inspired. I have NEVER kept up with blogs in the past so I didn't even know where to start when it came time for me to choose which ones to add to my feedly account.  I first began with the suggestion to check out the Edublogs's award winners and decided to subscribe to freetechforteachers.com because I liked the layout and the first couple of posts I read.  And also, perhaps most importantly because all the technology featured is FREEEEEEEE!



I was hoping that all I would have to do to subscribe to this blog would be clicking that now familiar orange RSS icon on the page but was unable to find my reader (feedly) listed in the drop down choices.  I ended up having to go into my feedly account and search for the blog there and then click +add content.  It wasn't very difficult to do for this first blog but after subscribing to 4 other blogs and then repeating this same process, it got extremely tedious!

The next blog I found from an earlier "Thing" post, called Its not all Flowers and Sausages, which is a very candid and heartfelt written by an oftentimes very frustrated teacher.  This is probably the most unusually written, but entertaining blog I subscribed to.



The 3 other blogs I subscribed to I found directly from my feedly account.  I simply typed in what I was looking for example I subscribed to a cake blog called HalfBaked, which I found by just typing in
"baking."
