Matt,<br />
I completely agree, the possibilities do indeed seem endless! Thus, my quest for a way to organize interesting RSS feeds continues. I work in a setting where students often are overwhelmed by the many options a Google search gives, let alone a continual feed about a variety of topics. I think the thing I'm looking for is simply a way to take in and organize information and be able to get rid of the "junk"! Does that make any sense?!

I search high and low for appropriate feeds for our <a href="http://areallydifferentplace.org">class blog</a>. Here is a <a href="http://anotsodifferentplace.blogspot.com/2007/01/rss-feed-for-elementary-students.html">post</a> I wrote about the feeds we use for elementary.<br />

Oops-just reread your post--I thought you were looking for feeds, not feed readers.

I just took some time to look around at Google Reader. I did find a shared items link, so sharing is possible. You are right about the long list of articles, I remember that bugging me. I use bloglines for myself but have found Google Reader to be better for the kids. I haven't really pushed to far with it yet (I am sure the shared items has been there forever, but I just didn't look at it). Sharing would be easier if I could have things organized according to my students easilly. There…

I haven't really pushed to far with it yet (I am sure the shared items has been there forever, but I just didn't look at it). Sharing would be easier if I could have things organized according to my students easilly. There probably is a way to do this, I just haven't explored it yet. Given that I have kept such a simplistic view of using the tool, I haven't had any issues with the "bells and whistles". Rick,

Rick,<br />
Thanks for the insight about Google Reader. I'm still realatively new to it myself, and I'm finding that my one frustration is that I can't figure out how (or if it's even possible) to remove/delete a story once you've viewed it. Having to navigate (tag or otherwise) more than 1000 stories drives me batty! Additionally, I think "classroom oriented" for me means it's a more stream-lined approach, not the usual distractions/bells and whistles of a Google (or any other site for that matter).…

I have used RSS in my classroom for the past two years. I have used only Google Reader, since we use Google Docs heavilly (keep logins to a minimum). What would make something more "classroom oriented" for you? For me the ability to create, as a teacher or as students, a set of feeds related to specific topics that could be shared easily between groups would be helpful. What else?
