Tool 2

I created a google reader a few years ago when I did 23 Things. I haven't used it since then. However, this time around I actually think I'll use the blogs and sites I am following in the reader. I think I chose better this time. As far as writing on blogs, I don't mind posting about what others have written, but I really prefer talking to my teammates in person. There's so much you miss when you just type online as opposed to talking to a person. There are all the nuances of communication that you miss when you write online. I don't know that I would feel comfortable posting problems or situations in my classroom online. It's a really personal area and the people on my team know my kids and my teaching style and are better able to offer help that I can really use. Writing my thoughts online is hard for me. I'm working on it.

The site I'm planning to visit is for 3rd grade teachers. It has lots of useful information about teaching 3rd grade.
