I was first introduced to RSS at the school's technology conference last summer. I gave it a try for a while, but didn't find myself referencing it often. For someone like my sister, who follows the news with great enthusiasm, this would be a fabulous tool. I wonder if she knows about this... I guess I'll have to check. I added a few of my colleagues' blogs to my list of subscriptions and will make it a goal to check on them from time to time.
Hmmm, I think you just haven't found something you want to follow yet! If you did, I think you would find it invaluable.
ReplyDeleteWhat about students' assignments for current events or following a news story? Do you see any use of an RSS reader for students?
What if your students were keeping a blog for an assignment? Would the RSS reader help you know when they update their blogs?
