BP_1_2009104_Educational RSS feeds

In selecting sites for my RSS feeds I researched sites that would supplement my lessons and raise awareness among my students.

The first site was the EasyBib site. This site was added for very selfish reasons. In asking my students to properly cite their sources when references a work they inevitably found difficulty when seeking out the proper way to site. By using this site students were able answer a few questions and creating a works sited page that was properly done.

Secondly I chose Frontline.org. This site is used as a means to watch documentaries and news reports of current as well as historical news items. Students conducting research are able to gather information from this site.

Next I chose Education World. This site is wonderful for both students and teachers. The site offers an abundance of resources from lesson plans to project tutorials to staff development opportunities.

New York Times is another site I encourage my students to read. It is important for my students to keep up to date on current events and how they affect their own lives.

Lastly, I chose the Editorial and Opinion pages of the New York Times. This is a fantastic resource to use in the English classroom. Students analyze the editorial cartoons and then create their own dependent upon the articles and news stories they read throughout the week.
