I looked through the blog finding sites and found some interesting blogs. Quite honestly though I have some of my favorite site that have RSS feeds and it is easier to just sign on to them. I think that I may use a search when we are doing one of our more difficult topics in AP Biology or Honors Chemistry and I want to find out where the current research is. The search sites might facilitate finding blogs of research scientists.
I am planning to have my students in AP Biology blog or wiki next year through our Moodle site. One student will be assigned each day of the week to summarize what we did in class. This will allow for a good review for all students and will be an aid to the students who are absent. I may even try this in my chemistry class....I just have a lot more work to put into their moodle site.

Something to think about also with an RSS feed - is that is you subscribe to a bunch of feeds, you can then share individual stories from the larger group of feeds with others.
ReplyDeleteYou could have the kids set up Google accounts and create a Reader list. They could then subscribe to the items that you share - so in essence, you would guide them to stories that you think are most important, without overloading them with too much information.
