NEW PAGES:
- Spring Theme Page has been added
- April Resource Page is now available
Some people have encountered issues with downloading or opening the packets they ordered from BTC. Only a few packets were having these problems and I think I have solved the problem (which started when they moved my site to a new server).
If you do decide to order from BTC, please read the information page carefully since many problems can be avoided that way. It is extremely important that your email account be able to accept emails from Busy Teacher's Cafe.
If there are any problems, please email me and I will respond within 24-48 hours.
I've also received a notice from my webhost that the mail service is having problems sending and receiving emails so my emails are not coming in or going out. Please email me again if you have not received a response.
Thanks!
In case you can't find it:

Theme 2 Packet is almost done and will be available for purchase this weekend!

Here is an interesting video from TeacherTube. It truly makes you think about teaching in a different way.......
This information will explain what an RSS feed is and how to get one. Since I have a Google account, I use the Google Reader as my RSS tool. Look online for free RSS tools if you do not have one.
What are RSS feeds?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. An RSS "feed" is the website's way of alerting subscribers that the website has been updated. It feeds subscribers the latest updates that have occurred on the web site.
How do I subscribe to an RSS feed?
When you find an RSS feed you'd like to subscribe to, you must first have a tool that can read these RSS feeds. These tools are often referred to as "News Aggregators", "RSS Readers" or "News Readers". There are an abundance of these tools online that are free.
Why would I need RSS? What is the advantage?
RSS feeds allow you be notified when a web site has been updated. Normally, you would have to proactively visit the site as updates occur. You just subscribe and watch the notifications roll into your news aggregator. Also, RSS is unspammable because you control your subscriptions. The site owner never has your contact info.
