TLA TAL Information Gathering and Staying Informed

http://screencast.com/t/OXfBWcaqCMy

RSS feeds are something I'd heard about but wasn't really sure what it meant or how to get it.  I really like having the educational news stream right onto my igoogle page.  This makes it so much easier to keep up with current events.  I will be able to share the information with the staff at my school as it pertains to each person or grade level.  I will also be able to share information with the school improvement team as I find ideas that may benefit our school.

Google alerts could be cool this year.  Quite honestly, Saranac Schools are not generally heating up the news wires.  However, there was an occasion last year in which a couple of teachers saw a news piece about one of our teachers that others were later unable to find.  I like the idea that I will automatically be alerted when we are in the news.  So far, no alerts have come.  We have discussed, as a staff, the benefits of getting positive stories about our district out there.  I am going to make it a goal for the year to have at least 2 postitive news pieces that I am responsible for.
