RSS Reader

Here is a screen shot of my newly created RSS reader at netvibes. Aside from the 5 sites from class, I chose 5 other sites having to do with Math and Spanish. The reasoning behind Spanish is obvious as I am a K-8 Spanish teacher. However, I am also certified to teach secondary Math, so I included the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in order to stay up to date with the changes in math.

As for Spanish I included the Michigan World Language Association because I am a member, have attended a conference of theirs, and know it is a good way to stay connected to all of the latest information on teaching a world language. Next I picked a blog (Wanna Jugar con Migo) that has several different children's lessons, links, ideas, and templates for different activities. I will be able to use many of these ideas in my lower elementary classes.

After that I found another blog about hispanic culture, including famous hispanic people. original hispanic recipes, and pictures of hispanic people. Not only will this be beneficial for me to learn more about the culture first hand, but also for my students as they haven't been able to travel to a Spanish Speaking country. Lastly I picked a site that has continual updates of the news in all of the Latin American Countries. It allows you to pick the country you want to focus on or see an overview of all the latest news. This will keep me up-to-date with current events and will be a great resource for my students with all of the information in one location.
