Hello every body. This session will be about Google Reader, especially on how to add feeds to it. Before we begin, I need to remind you that the toilet is down the corridor and in case of emergency the exit stair is down the main foyer for us to gather in front of the State Library. There is an assessment but only by observation and I might ask some questions to clarify what you are doing when you do the practice.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions in any stage of the session.
This is what we will cover today. Using Google mail to access the reader and we will do two different things to feed the reader: by keyword and by URL Feeds. We will also cover on different views so it is easy to check sites.
