RESOURCE ROOM 220

I have been doing something very important to my development as a Special Educator this morning.  Updating my feeds in Google Reader to include many more Special Education resources.

I am at my max or a little over in my ability to follow this number of feeds, I find that when I go over 100 feeds that I just skim read more of the articles.  I will probably go in and do a really brutal pruning over the Holiday Break in December.  By then I will have a much better idea of the feed subscriptions that I want or need to follow.

Please look at my Blogroll for some of the new feeds that I have added to my feed that immediately struck me as being very informative or that I have followed in my other blogs.  Others that I have added I will look at for a while before adding them to my Blogroll or pruning them from gReader.

I have purposely attempted to add a variety of resources, so that I do not get in that “we squeak” the same syndrome.  I wanted parent’s, lawyers, politicians, State Education, other K-12 educators and higher education.  I also purposely sought out both the right and the left based blogs that focus on education and disabilities.  I want a wide divergence of views and opinions – I don’t have to agree with what I am reading, but I believe that I do need to look at both sides of issues and stereotypes.

Hopefully, all this information provides me with “things” that I can actually use in the classroom to help my students.

As always – do the right things for the right reasons – today and tomorrow.
