Challenge 2: Google Reader, RSS Feeds and Twitter

Using an aggregator is a wonderful way to organize information of interest to me and share it with others!!  I used Google Reader to keep up with feeds to CNN, WRAL, Durham Public Schools and Room to Read--an international organization whose mission is to advocate for a quality education for all children and a few others.  I see this as a way to avoid "clogging" my inbox and taking time to "travel" to numerous websites versus checking Google Reader to stay abreast of updates, news, etc. 

I have had a Twitter account for a few years.  It took a while for me to get used to this social media and I know I do not "tweet" as much as many of our students and many of my colleagues.  One of my favorite Twitter followings is Kiva, an organization which offers very small loans to empower people all over the world.  Check it out at www.kiva.org .
