=Subscribing to the "Thing 5" Feeds in Google Reader=

Different sites present their RSS subscription links in different ways. With a little bit of experience, finding these links or icons becomes pretty easy. On this page, you will find step-by-step directions for subscribing to the required and stretch feeds listed in the Thing 5 Discovery Exercise.


 * After** you have subscribed to the feeds, watch [|this brief video] showing how to use Google Reader to read and manage your subscription feeds.

 * **Infinite Thinking Machine** -[|http://www.infinitethinking.org]
 * **Instructify** - []
 * **Blogboard** - []
 * **Students 2oh** - [|http://students2oh.org]

**How to Subscribe to the Required Feeds**
First, log into Google Reader using your Google/Gmail account:[| http://reader.google.com]

While blogs/sites using RSS feeds typically have an easily identifiable RSS icon or Subscription link, **Google Reader is usually smart enough to recognize a feed** from the main URL of a site.

In a **separate browser tab or Window** go to each of the required sites, and subscribe to their feeds as follows:



Stretch Feeds
Sometimes, you will need to be a bit cleverer in your RSS-subscribing, as in our stretch feeds:
 * If there are LOTS of feeds on a page, **right click the** **RSS icon or** **Subscription link for the specific feed that interests you**, and select **Copy Link Location** (Firefox) or **Copy Shortcut** (Internet Explorer) -- See New York Times RSS Feeds instructions below
 * Sometimes, you will need to highlight and copy the URL of the feed (as opposed to the web page) -- see NPR Podcasts instructions below
