Thing 11 One eyed, one horned RSS Feeder Finder
I found an excellent blog while using Syndic8. Luis Anthony Ast is the creator of videomathtutor.com. I recently used a video podcast from Luis for part of my 3040 project. Little did I know, his blog can be subscribed to through Syndic8. Google Blog Search was extremely easy and useful in finding other blogs of interest to me. Both of these feed finders were simple to use and contained mountains of information, but I prefer Google Blog Search over all the feed finders I explored. I searched the term, "math" in Google Blog Search. The first search connected me with the very best math resource site, Wolfram's MathWorld. Of course, tons of articles on math curriculum came up, along with math worksheets, math teacher blogs, many pages full of content. Sticking with the term, "math" I found a very unusual article from the Chicago Tribune entitled "House painting math". It was an article that described a painting company's bid to paint a house. The article identified the way some businesses charge more for "top of the line" paint compared to the regular "good" paint. Overall, the article did contain the term "math" but was not exactly what I was looking for. Using tools such as Google Blog Search (now my favorite) can greatly reduce the time I spend on the internet searching for relevent resources.
