In the past, there was a face-to-face collaboration for the professional development of teaching . But now teachers can easily share resources with co-workers within the same school as well as across schools, countries, and even continents because digital practices are so portable. Collaboration seems to be becoming a necessity in this new reality, allowing educators to learn about new digital tools, integrate new teaching technologies (both high-tech and low-tech), and share responsibility for developing online or home-based resources. (Andrea Honigsfeld & Jon Nordmeyer,2020)
Model: 2
ISTE Standard 1: Educators continually improve their practice by learning from and with others and exploring proven and promising practices that leverage technology to improve student learning.
Standard 2: Educators seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success and to improve teaching and learning.
Question:
In this model, I would like to focus on developing teachers by learning about others and discovering what is new in education to develop student learning. My question about this model? How can Feedly help teachers learn from others, develop themselves, and improve student learning? (S1)
Solution:
I will use Feedly’s RSS to answer my question. Feedly helps you search, organize, and save time. Not only that, but it also helps you work with colleagues to find the best learning practices for students. In the beginning, you can create a free account and then create a file. More than one file can be created. I created the first file and called it Digital Education, to which I added the pages of my classmates so that I could organize and read their blogs first by receiving alerts on my phone when a new article was published on their page, and I could read all of their articles on one page at Feedly. Also, you can check if you are reading this article or not, so I think it is very useful to make sure that you have read all of your classmates’ blogs. The other file was in professional development for teachers; by searching for professional development in the search box, articles and pages will appear for you, and you can read them without leaving Feedly. And you can follow the page that you liked to be able to follow the new articles firsthand on this page. You can follow all professional development articles with the first updates to help you find best practices for student learning.

Feedly will help you by researching topics and trends for educators’ professional development to teach students best practices across the entire web. Feedly AI can help you expand your knowledge gathering by identifying articles from sources that are not in your feeds. Select one of your feeds and click “Train Feedly AI” to create a priority. What you can ask Feedly AI to prioritize is shown in the following examples: When you create a priority, Feedly AI will start capturing new articles, which you can find in the Priority tab or in the Feedly AI Priorities section on the left navigation. To enable Feedly AI to recognize and hide certain topics, our engineering team has developed specialized filters to muffle audio. Feedly AI’s deduplication skill removes duplicate content from feeds and keyword alerts, with a brief summary of relevant articles saved to your forum on a particular topic or project.

Share your team of educators’ analysis. Your team’s research and intelligence become more organized and collaborative when you add them to Feedly. The best student learning and best practice professional development content you and your team find on the web or in Feedly can be saved to special areas called team boards. To share insights with your colleagues and your organization, you can tag, organize,and annotate content.

Your ability to take advantage of Feedly AI’s Like Board skill, which trains Feedly AI to prioritize articles similar to those you’ve previously saved, will be improved by how well-organized and focused your team boards are. One of Feedly’s most popular features is the team newsletter. Team boards can be turned into newsletters that send an automatic summary of posted content. Newly listed on this board. In addition, you will be able to communicate regularly with individuals outside of your team by adding their email addresses to your recipient list. Learn more about the possibilities for creating structured newsletters from team boards. Linking your team’s Feedly account to Slack will enable you to send notifications to specific channels when a team member adds content to a board. Tag a team member in your article notes to tell them an important story or opportunity. A Slack user who is not part of your Feedly team may be mentioned. Team boards can be included with Microsoft Teams integration. Take advantage of all the great content your team already collects and organizes. Use these integrations right away. And see the impact your team can have when you use Feedly to share knowledge and ideas.

Conclusion:
In my search for the best tool to help teachers professionally develop best practices for student learning I found Feedly’s RSS tool.
