Loved the video about setting up an RSS feed. I saw this same one last year and it is such a nice review of what an RSS is all about. It is also done in such a creative and easy to understand format. I would love to find some relevant videos like this to show my students. I bet some of them would also enjoy creating their own in this style.
I just added everyone's blogs to my Google Reader. I love that the information now comes to me. I have a few other blogs that I susbcribe to, but they are always from people I know personally. My goal for this year is to add some other blogs that will help me as a teacher. I added Edutopia today as well as InfiniteThinking. I am hoping they give me ideas on what I can do in my classroom.
The cool thing about Google Reader is that I can "mark all as read" if I get behind on reading the blogs that update constantly. If course, I would never do that to the MILI blogs that everyone is making.

I love that video too! The common craft folks make several how-to videos that I have been entertaining. I used them quite a bit last year when I was teaching an advanced using technology class while the teacher was out on paternity leave!
Ok, I was thinking the short video was awesome too! It's quick, to the point, upbeat and informational. I should make a few instructional videos like that for my students. Maybe on the research process and the five steps!
