I decided to use Google Reader for my aggregator. (I like to say “aggregator” because it sounds like agitator and alligator.) Bloglines looks cool, but it wasn’t as intuitive for me as GR; plus, I use Google, GDocs, Gmail, etc. and I want to use Picasa and more.
I’ve added a bunch of feeds . . . I think I’ll have to remove some after I see which I really like. I put a link to GR on my blog so that I can get to it that way, too.
While doing this, I discovered a cool tool called Pagekeeper.org. It is a bookmarking site for teachers and students. It is not RSS, just a “favorites” site that you can organize in a way you can’t organize your desktop or browser favorites. It is easy to use, you can access it from any computer (instead of saying “Erg, I can’t remember the site, but it is saved on my Favorite’s), and others can view your page if they know your username (no password required for anyone who is not going to edit the page). So, take a look at it — my username is simply “Karen” . . . you can look at other people’s pages by searching for a particular subject or grade level. I really love it!

Oh my! Just when I think I’m getting a handle on some of these things I see something else. Does it ever end? this is great! I’d love to get some “how-tos” from you eventually! (:-)
