HELP OF RSS FEEDREADERS AND BLOGS IN ELT

Hello my dear readers! The image that you see above is my RSS feedreader’s screenshot. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary. It is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. It enables you to keep up with all the topics that you want in one place. There is a variety of RSS feedreaders available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers are: 

- FeedReader (Windows) 

- Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac)  

- My Yahoo (online) 

You can use them as a software or an online reader, it’s up to you. I am an IOS user and I use Feedly. One of the reasons why it is useful is because you save time by not needing to visit each site individually and you ensure your privacy by not needing to join each site's email newsletter. 

As I highlighted above Lesson Plays Digger is my favorite blog. The blog is based on lesson plans and teaching tips. All the activities posted on the blog are tried and shared with the materials. There is also a section as “Teacher’s Toolbox”. There you can find not only educational activities but also YouTube and Instagram accounts which will be helpful for ELT. Another useful feature of this blog is you can choose the proper activity for your class easily because the English levels are stated for each activity. 

I highly recommend this blog and the use of RSS readers to ELT teachers. Believe me they will help a lot. And if you have a blog to suggest, please leave it as a comment!
