Thing 4: My Plump Google Reader

Last week, I deleted 1000+ feeds in my Google Reader. That is thanks to my 285...yes, 285...subscriptions. Too many you ask? Probably.

For the past 1 1/2 year, I have read blogs, explored blog rolls, and fed my Google Reader. She is definitely not going hungry! A few weeks ago, I blogged here about my RSS feeds; then I did the deed and deleted that 1000+ and began anew! This actually felt good, and I did not hurt one blogger's feelings, for...shhhh...they do not know I deleted their very awesome thoughts and many links that help me grow professionally.

Just checked...I have 61 posts to read. Uh, oh...none are from my BSD 21 PLN. Please check here for a song I adapted to this situation. Please post! I really like reading your thoughts, exploring your minds!

My subscriptions are divided into folders. For example, here is a partial list of some of my folders: authors, BSD PLN, educational topics, hobbies, literacy, podcasts, technology, tech tools, writing.

Listed below are a few of my favorites, a list I recently shared with my Secondary English Methods (Lyon College) students:

Authors

Book Reviews/Reading

Education

English 11 Lesson Plans

Hobbies

Literacy

Poetry

Portfolios

Technology

Podcasts

This list and the other 200 subscriptions are thanks to our leader Lisa Huff at 21 Things and Just Read and various other places, who inspired and mentored me back in the winter of 2008-09. Please check out my blogs here!
