There is a lot of information out there that I would like to access at any given point and that's becoming challenging. This information exists in many forms - for me that currently means news feeds, blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook groups, YouTube channels and Instagram feeds. Feed aggregators are great ways to pull in all of this different information into a one-stop site. I think the primary allure of these aggregators is that rather than log into many different accounts to access these things, I can simply open up the aggregator program and it all is channeled through there.Flipboard is my app of choice. Not only does it pull all of the information into one place, it also makes it into a ridiculously attractive magazine style format. It is also extremely flexible, having apps for most prominent mobile devices (including iPhone/iPodTouch/iPad, Kindle, Nook, and Android-based devices).
I've actually written about this one just this past June but thought it was worth revisiting. One of my personal charges with the Technology Fellow is to enhance faculty awareness of all the great tools that are out there. There are a lot of great blogs and feeds out there, including our own TLT group's but I suspect many of us are not set up to easily access them - Flipboard is a great solution for this. Once everyone gets hooked in then it becomes easier to have the information delivered right to you.
Consider trying this one out - especially if you have a mobile device.
