RSS Feeds - oops forgot the questions

a. What RSS reader did you chose and why?

I'm using Google - Google is my home page anyway and it seems like a good no frills reader.

b. What “non-classmate” blogs did you subscribe to?
http://wordpress.com/tag/precalc/feed/ - this one doesn't have a fancy name, but it is a collection of clever things to do with precal students. I'm always looking for good ideas in that area.


Social Science Science Statistics Blog from the Institute of Quantitative Social Science at Harvard http://www.iq.harvard.edu/blog/sss/ - my expertise in statistics is in engineering and science. The social sciences are the other part of the world and I'm trying to learn more about how statistics are used in that arena - as well as finding papers and documents that I can get my kids to look at.

Teaching Statistics http://statteacher.blogspot.com/ - this is a blog from an AP stat teacher. I'm teaching grade level statistics, but she has some of the same problems I do - late homework for one. She also teaches geometry and she's trying some of the same ideas with her stat kids.

c. What made you chose those blogs?

I chose those blogs because they were in areas that interested me.
