WOW! After adding the websites to my Google Reader, I browsed through the plethora of information! It's overwhelming! I will have to get used to the idea of being okay with not being able to keep up. One thing that I love about Barrow County newspaper is that it comes only twice a week. It is easier for me to be successful at keeping up with reading the newspaper when it is less frequent like that. This will be challenging for me to be satisfied with my inability to keep up with the news gravitating to my reader!
As for the tech news I was reading -- I'm also very interested in the future of education from a technical standpoint. I realize the desire for students to spend time on the internet to keep up through social networking. I am encouraged by the shift in thinking that encourages students towards the new area of academic networking (as is stated in the article, "What are the pros, cons, and safety aspects of social networking? By Terry Freedman". The article supports the need for teaching "netiquette" to students - giving them parameters for utilizing the web in an educational setting.
I am looking forward to using my google reader to continue to be up on the news of the day - even if there is more news than I can possibly keep up with.

Yes, sometimes Google Reader can become overwhelming, but I feel as though it is definitely worth it when you consider all of the wonderful nuggets of information that you can come across - delivered right to you no less! I have over 150 feeds myself - insane, but I hesitate to narrow down that field out of fear that I'll miss something wonderful.
