Mike,

I have been looking into RSS readers and use Feedly myself.  I'm also looking for a way for the teacher to "follow" the blogs without having to add them individually.

I found an OPML creator for a published spreadsheet that didn't work and one that will create an OPML for ONE url at a time.  But I can't find a slick way to get all of her student feeds to one place.

When students share their blogs with her, she can view them, but I can't find a way for her to tap "add" or "follow" from the blog view.  Is there something each student can add to their blog to give her that capability?

Thanks,

Sarah

I have always liked using an RSS reader. I used to use Google Reader but since that went away I use Feedly. The other option is to use a classroom portal page. You can build this using a tool like Netvibes or a Google Site with RSS gadgets. If you'd like you can use a tool that will combine multiple feeds if you do not want to have a bunch of gadgets.

Good Morning ACTEM Integrators,

What are your methods for "following" student blogs using Blogger?  .  

The methods I've considered are as follows, but none are as slick as I would have liked them to be.  Looking for other suggestions:

• Students share blog with me.  I paste each blog URL to my Blogger reading list.  As I understand, this will not show up in order of student, but in order of most recent post.
• Students add me as an editor on their blog.  This will show all their blogs in my own blog list and distributes the effort to the students.  Do I want 100 blogs in my list though?
• Students fill out a Google Form with their Blog URL and I use the resulting spreadsheet to access each blog when I'm checking them.

Does anyone have any better ideas?  I'd love to hear them! 

Thanks,

Sarah
