BLOGS AND BLOG READERS
Prior to this class I had never heard of feed
readers. Even after I read the article, The 12 Best RSS Reader Apps to Follow your Favorite Blogs, Sites, and feeds https://zapier.com/blog/best-rss-feed-reader-apps/ I was still hesitant to pick one of the many feed readers available. One of the basic requirements I wanted in a
feed reader was it had to be free. Another
requirement was it had to be compatible with my Iphone. First, I downloaded Newsify. I liked the easy to read layout but it was
not very colorful. On my phone it resembled
a newspaper. I did like the fact that it was self-explanatory and had some
little pop-ups that guided me to the next step. Although I like the format and features of Newsify,
I felt it still needed more flair. I
continued to search. Finally, I found
Feedly. It is user-friendly and free! The
iPhone app is colorful and fairly easy to use. Since there is always something I want to
read, but don’t have enough time during my work day, I really liked the option
to bookmark articles to read later. The
sites I wanted to include in my feed reader pertain to being a mom, sp. Ed teacher,
and a MLS student. I searched for sites
that relate to libraries, special education library resources, technology integration
and award winning books. Unfortunately, I have not been able to incorporate blogs
into my feed reader. I will keep
searching on how to accomplish that.
