Well, I have to admit, I have not been good about checking my reader on a daily basis. I just don't seem to have the time to do it. But I have been checking it about once a week and a couple of things have come up of interest from time to time.
For this assignment, I had to look a little harder because I wanted to find something that could be useful in my classroom. I think I did that because I read an article about lots of new online tools that are available for teachers http://kpericles.edublogs.org/2009/06/29/edubloggercon-necc09/
One in particular looked very interesting. It can be found at http://issuu.com/ and what it does is take any document and turns it into an online book complete with turning pages. This could be used to take student work and turn it into an online book to be enjoyed by students, parents, and other classes.
So, checking my reader did pay off in giving me more tools and information that I can use. I just need to get into the habit of checking it more often.
