Google Reader













Hey everyone

I was thinking the other day that there is a lot of good and great stuff out there on the internet from Christian writers through blogs. As you know, we have our blog (www.h2ostudents.blogspot.com) but there are so many others. The rebelution blog, andy gullahorn, council for biblical manhood and womanhood, girl talk, etc., etc., etc.

Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to have to cruise around the internet to find all of these. I am interested in making it easier for your students to have access to this great biblical material.

Google has a feature called google reader. If you've never checked it out, it is worth your time. Basically it is a one stop location to access all your blogs of interest through subscriptions. Google reader then grabs all the new updates and send them to one web page. If you go to google, you will find the reader button in the upper corner. Basically you sign in with an e-mail address and password, subscribe to a couple of blogs of interest, and off you go.

What I would like to do is set up a google reader account for each student, add some blogs that I think they would like, or that I would like them to read, and then pass the info on to everyone of how to sign in. All you would have to do is go to google reader, enter your e-mail address and the password i set up and, viola!

So, keep your eye out for e-mails detailing your google reader account information! Parents, you will be able to access these accounts too with the same email/password combo to see what your kids are reading!

Using the Internet for HIS glory!

Peace
