Linda's blog

I have really enjoyed skimming the posts that come through my Google Reader. It’s amazing how much new material is available every day!

Because I am new to using so many web resources, I especially like the posts that give you new places to look. For instance, the Cool Cat Teacher blog has a daily spotlight that refers to websites of interest to educators. I often click on at least one of the links and usually find something of interest. I have started files of sites that I want to explore further, when I have time.

I have enjoyed many of the other Cool Cat posts, but one recent one especially interested me. It Makes Sense to Use All Senses really makes sense to me! I read this one soon after participating in an IEP meeting for my youngest grandson who is autistic. The IEP discussion about how he best learns went right along with this post. I loved her class schedule; it’s obvious that Ms. Davis thinks not just about her subject matter, but also considers how her students learn best. We can all learn from that!

Asperger’s Syndrome is another topic in my Google Reader, and, again, I am amazed at the amount of current information. Many of the most recent posts have dealt with new research that links autism with rainfall, or of a popular TV series that has a character with Aspergers. This feed has really made me think about how our students have to be taught about how to judge a post, when to trust an article on the web.

I have enjoyed my choices of feeds, and I plan to continue reading even when I don’t have to do it for a class!
