Thing #11

I found google blog search to be the easiest method of finding feeds it was also the easiest to use. I found Technorati to be extremely confusing, the page layout was overwhelming and I found myself constantly having to read and scroll up and down the page to figure out how to begin searching. I found several useful feeds during my "travels." I plan on teaching English, History, Speech, and Family and Consumer Sciences. However, for the purposes of this search I focused on English, more specifically American and English Literature. I found feeds that covered lesson plans, activities, writing prompts, and media resources. I did however, find some unusual ones that contained content that was no appropriate for school; some feeds were more opinion based as opposed to educational. I found that lots of blogs referenced other blogs or newsfeeds and some even listed suggestions of websites, newsfeeds, and blogs to visit for additional information or for more in-depth information regarding certain topics.
