Best feeds for news and resources

There's a constant stream of information being produced every day. I use Google Reader to follow my favorite blog and website feeds so they're delivered to me rather than me needing to go to each of those sites regularly (if you're not already using an RSS reader, check out this video for an explanation of why using one will save you time and energy). Here are some of my favorite feeds:

Lifehacker provides tips and tricks to improve your life every day. Not as fruity as my description makes it sound.

Audrey Watters' Hack Education is from the perspective of an ed tech reporter who is both thorough and skeptical.

Scott McLeod's Mind Dump is a constant stream of thought-provoking and challenging links he has discovered. He also created a good deal of content (mostly geared towards school administrators) on his blog Dangerously Irrelevant.

Even though I'm not a math teacher, Dan Meyer's dy/dan provides some great examples of a core content teacher who is choosing to think differently in the way he delivers instruction.

WIRED Magazine's Gadget Lab keeps me up to date on the newest gizmos I don't own.

Larry Ferlazzo's site is called Websites of the Day for Teaching ELL, ESL, & EFL, and it is an amazing archive of teacher-selected links on pretty much every topic you can think of. He must be one of the most productive teachers in our nation.

Richard Byrne's Free Technology for Teachers will remove any excuses you have for not using Web2.0 with your students. A similar feed (with different content) updated a bit less frequently is iLearn Technology.

Our school division's Instructional Technology Resource Teachers produce a Play of the Week with a bite-sized, easily applicable tech integration idea for classroom teachers. Great for people just dipping their toes into the water.

Emily Richmond is The Educated Reporter, with a good eye for national trends in K-12 education.

Alexander Russo's This Week in Education is a good roundup of education news.

Speaking of good roundups, SmartBrief will email the most interesting news stories in your field to you for free. I subscribe to the SmartBrief's for ASCD, ACTFL, and Rosetta Stone.

Finally, I hope that if you don't already do so you'll subscribe for the feed to this blog. I also love reading comments and hearing about your ideas. What other feeds should I be following?
