As mentioned in my previous post discovering RSS feeds have been a great
help. One article that came about today
that caught my eye was about the minimum wage in Ontario being increased to $11per hour. The article dives deeper into
the situation analyzing whether or not this will be beneficial for the province
or detrimental. This
hike of wages is an increase of 75 cents and is the first increase to minimum
pay since 2010 in Ontario. Premier Wynne
explains that Ontario will now join Nunavut to introduce an $11 per hour
minimum wage. With this wage increasing,
there is speculation that the amount of unemployment may go up in teenagers and
young adults.
Having this article come straight to my Feedly account is
great. I enjoy keeping up to date with
the news of Canada and the world and to have a variety of different newspapers
in one location is so easy. I don’t know
how I managed my time before such an organizer.
That being said, I believe that my reader can be considered
an information organization tool in my PLE.
The reader brings in information from a variety of different sources and
makes it easily accessible to the user.
What the best part is that the sources can be just about anything from
news to blogs and podcasts. It can
almost act as a search engine confined to a set of selected sites. Finding relevant information to an assignment
or paper would be easily found with the use of a reader and proper sources
linked to it. Going forward I can definitely
see myself using and maintaining such a tool in the future for both personal
and professional purposes.
