In my future classroom, I will definitely incorporate my Google Reader (RSS). Using the New York Times, CNN.com, nationalgeographic.com, and other useful sites will really engage the students in realizing that the news is full of lessons. My goal is to help my English Language Learners and their mainstream classmates come together and learn not only each others' cultures, but the cultures around the world to help build positive relationships and understanding of those who are different.

Blogs can be used through the Google Reader as well. I added two teachers' blogs to my Reader  who talk about how they incorporate technology in their classes. My students can use blogs for communicating with me, use their blogs for class projects, displaying research material that they've found, submitting videos and websites...the possibilities are endless!
