This provides me an abridged version of what is going on in various school districts in the Eastern Pennsylvania Area.

You have to be careful; there is a lot of information that keep you intrigued.
This aggregator, provides information about schools across the country are doing to get kids involved . The involvement varies from community work, visiting colleges, staying connected with students around the world, and school involvement in schools. It provides interesting ideas of how to provide ownership to students and how they can manage it.

If you are a tech guru, who wants to stay current with how schools are using the latest technology to support teaching and communication, then this is the site to get feeds. There is so much out there, you can find yourself losing track of time.
The feed provides articles that discuss issues with iPods, MP3 players, video cameras, and etc. These articles are very interesting. I would assume it discuss issues with security and how to keep students honest with the use of such devices. It went further. I found articles on how to use this technology in your classroom through lesson deployment.

I stopped going to the eDutopia website to read on various articles. Instead, the various articles come to me. I able to read the same articles that catch my interest instead of reading the magazine. I am able to sort articles that involve Geometry and Algebra. Project learning and Teacher Development are the key areas that help me develop effective lesson plans. Teacher Development feed provides links to videos on interesting articles that I do not have to search through. This free up time that is very important to me.
