I love love love Google Reader! There are so many amazing things about it. I keep up with my RSS feed on my phone so it is convenient. Not too mention, it keeps me informed...really informed. I can follow a wide variety of blogs and newsfeeds. In one place, so many of my interests are met ranging from education news to instructional technology news to friends' blogs to entertainment gossip. If you don't know about using an RSS feed, I highly recommend you get informed! I promise you will love it too!
As I was looking through my Google Reader this weekend, I found quite of few interesting articles and blogs.
An interesting post about creating 3-D pop-up story books online stood out to me. I currently plan writing for the fourth grade team at the school that I work at. I'm always looking for new ways to engage my students in writing. The website is called ZooBurst. It allows teachers or students to publish stories online. The original blog post gave me a little information about the site and some positives and negatives. ZooBurst definitely looks like something I will check out in the future. Here is the link to the blog post:

P.S. I found another interesting article that really caught my eye about teachers, students, and Facebook. Take a look at it here: http://www.techlearning.com/blogs/36512. Let me know your thoughts if you get a chance to check it out.
