I am a wife, mother, soldier, and student. I am presently attending APSU pursuing a MAT in Special Education. I am very interested in teaching K-6 students with Learning Disabilities. I anxiously await my retirement from the military and my future endeavors in teaching.

Wms Thing #10

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is yet another application that enables mass sharing of information.  RSS allows you to view several information threads at one time in the same place.  This tool is great for someone like me who has anywhere from 5-8 windows opened at the same time shuffling from one to the other in search of information.  So far I've subscribed to the following sites:
  • E Online
  • ABC News
  • Cool Cat Teach
  • Army Times
  • Fox News
  • Fox 411
  • Weatherbug
  • Ticketmaster
In the classroom in addition to using some of the tools offered in the Cool Cat site such as lesson plans and vocabulary tools, I will use the tool to share information among the students in the class.  Additionally, I would implement a news share or current events discussion block of time at the beginning of each day.
