I teach a fourth and fifth grade combination class. There is a lot of center work, small group work, and independence in my class because I have so many kinds of kids to teach. While I am working with 4 students, the rest of the class must stay engaged in learning. This can be done with projects and regular book work. However, it can also be games. When looking for RSS feeds to follow, I liked Education Games - Games at Miniclip.com because it showcased games that have some use in my classroom. They look fun, but most of the free games had a purpose. I was also drawn to Education Week American Education News Site of Record. It has news about my profession and lets me know what changes are in the works. I am concerned about the laws that are passing that regulate education, and this is a great feed for keeping up with these issues. The RSS feed Educational Technology is right up my alley. It is for Ed Tech professionals, but I could read it for fun. It specifically talks about using technology in the classroom in many different ways. Educational Technology and Life is a daily link list sent out and I could spend all day JUST exploring this source. It connects to everything I’m interested in. Surfing the Net with Kids: Educational site reviews and kids games is an elementary teacher’s best friend. It gives theme after theme after theme for educational units and technology extensions to go with them.
