Things 8 & 9

Week 4
I subscribed to New, Fun, Thinker, and two feeds for my APP English class. We are beginning Latin American Literature next semester and there will be a concentration on Julia Alavarez. I added two feeds from publication websites for her. What I like most about the feeds is that each student could pick something their own feeds or we could subscribe as a class about a certain subject.

In Writing lab, I could definitely use this because I could have all my students subscribe to the things that are interesting to them. Student's assignments could become personalized to their own interests.

I already have several newsfeed on my homepage that I read from time to time, but this is a way for a whole class to subscribe as a whole.
