Today we learned how to set up a personalized news page for the research paper. The instructor showed students how to set up the page using Google: personalized news page, RSS (really simple syndication) using a feeder, and via "news alerts" to an e-mail box. The instructor recommended the news page as the best way to have the news agent gather information.
Students then wrote their search terms on the bottom of their research page assignment sheet. The instructor reviewed the research paper search terms with each student. Then the students set up their own pages.
In some cases, the instructor worked with students to develop outlines. In a few cases, students had made an inappropriate research paper choice and a new topic had to be developed.
For next class: to be posted later. Check back on Friday.
