This was my introduction to Google Reader. I had to play alot (what else is new?) and was able to add a feed for the newspaper and some 23things blogs. I'd like to find some educational blogs-especially some Reggio Amelia practitioners. I can see that when I have a good handle on it that having all the the websites in one place would be helpful. I'm still trying to figure out how I would use it. I don't think I understand it well enough to figure out how to use it. Maybe some people will have ideas for me.

I used the search section on Google Reader to search for inquiry-based teaching and Reggio Inspired blogs. It seems to have taken on a life of its own. I have issues navigating on the site and deleting some stuff (I assume I can delete), but it seems to be mushrooming. I think I will close it out and deal with it another time.

At least I have a better understanding of feeds and how they might be used. Again, I need some practical advice about what to follow.
