I think what I like about RSS and readers is the convenience of having everything located in one spot. It seems more logical to use Google Reader to keep track of various blogs that one might follow instead of bookmarking each page. I actually chose to follow these blogs:
The Goddess of YA Literature
YA Author's Cafe
A Library By Any Other Name
Kathy Schrock
Cool Cat Teacher
Google Reader would be a fantastic tool to use in the classroom. I know as a language arts teacher this might be great for a year long school project where students keep track of various blogs about YA Literature. This would also be useful for keeping up with the latest and greatest in technology, especially since it is changing constantly.
Teachers, librarians, and administrators can equally use Google Reader for various reasons. Teachers and librarians can use it to stay current in their profession. Administrators could do the same, but it might even be useful to have their faculty keep a Google Reader account so that they can share pertinent articles that will help with campus needs.
