I use Google Reader on my iPhone and love it, but I am a political and economics junkie, so with the exception of the TED and Cognitive Daily feeds, it's pretty much political and economics blogs.
I think there are lots of science feeds (at least from science blogs); I hadn't really thought about using it in classes. I made my methods kids regularly peruse the popular media for "science" stuff, so setting up a common reader with some of the science feeds might make their lives easier. That said, I'm not sure that the extra bit of effort to use teh Google to find things is all that bad... But I too would like to hear if others use it in classes. m Marc Carter Associate Professor and Chair Department of Psychology ------ "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -- Margaret Wheatley -----Original Message----- From: Mike Palij [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 7:36 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Mike Palij Subject: [tips] Google Reader I've only recently become aware of the "Google Reader" website and I have a few questions: (1) What sources do Tipsters use? I see that Mind Hacks is one source. What are good sources that provide (relatively) accurate news on a more or less regular basis? (2) Are Tipsters using a Google Reader for any of their courses? If so, how do you incorporate it into the coursework (e.g., have students read and summarize an article)?
