I've just started using my Google Reader, but I think I will really enjoy using it. It is so hard to find time to surf the web and this brings the web to me. I thought it might be overwhelming having so much info on hand, but I just read what peaks my interest and I ignore the rest. Easy!
In the TechLearning Blog I found an article called New Teacher Tool Makes Individualized Learning and RTI Easy. Learning Plans on Demand sounds like a real time saver for teachers in getting individualized lessons for their students. I'd be interested to see exactly how it works and if it is just a bunch of leveled worksheets or something a little more creative. Perhaps I'll do a bit more research to find out.
An interesting site I found by accident was TED Talks. This sight features 20 minute videos from respected individuals ranging from Stephen Hawking to Rick Warren to mostly people I've never heard of before. I was linked there to a video called Do Schools Kill Creativity? Ken Robinson has some interesting thoughts on the matter and stories that illustrate those thoughts. Another interesting video was from Richard Baraniuk of Rice University. It talks about getting rid of textbooks and using open-source learning. I'm looking forward to watching more on this sight because of its wide range of topics: education, religion, politics, science, technology, etc.

Anytime you have a chance to see a TED talk or video it's usually worth it. All that I have seen have been so interesting.
