Thing #11

OK, I'm playing with the edublogger site looking for good blogs to create new feeds for. I get to a site I like, I don't see RSS feed. It says share and I scroll a list of maybe 30 different share sites, I assume. I'm new to this game and it's very time consuming. OK, I'm starting again. I went back and decided to try Topix.com and there are no blogs about education or autism (my son has Asperger's). I subscribed to the Autism Speaks news feeds and I don't know how to link this feed to my Google Reader account and not my Windows e-mail personal account that is on my computer. If I press subscribe on the website it automatically sends the feed to my personal account on my computer. It does not ask me where I want the feed sent. I find that if I want a feed sent to Google Reader I have to press subscribe inside Google Reader for it to show up in Google Reader. I have found the easiest way to find blogs I like is to use Google blog search. I can simply type in my interest and something will pop up to choose from. I really like Edublog's site but I could not find the RSS feed symbol to subscribe to the feed. Maybe I'm overlooking it, or I'm just left behind in the technology dust! I did look up Mesquite ISD and found Mesquite Independent School District's web site. I found blogs about this school district indicating it fails to teach special needs students properly. It appears they expel students for displaying behaviors that are caused by a disability. Horrible!!
