I wish I had known about RSS feeds earlier. I have added a number of sites to my Google Reader and I think that it will encourage me to keep me up-to-date with developments in educational technology and science issues. I like updates to be sent to one place as it is a big time saver. However, I will remove BBC News from Google Reader...too many updates to my liking...feeling swamped.
I had a look at Gary Molloy's Pageflakes page for inspiration. He has great a Edna and EduBlogs page and a science page with a compilation of feeds that may interest teachers of chemistry and science. I feel that I still need to look for additional biology websites.
Students could benefit from setting up a Google Reader page and reading about current scientific issues and research, especially for senior students aiming to get a band 6 in a science subject. I think that gifted and talented students would also enjoy taking ownership of their learning by selecting websites that they would like updates from.
