Thing #10

RSS is super cool and makes blogging life a lot simpler!  It operates just like the homepage on Facebook.  You log on and you can see what is new with your subscribed websites (just as with your friends on Facebook) and you can read through them based on their importance to you. It sure beats having to open up 50 tabs as I was doing in the past!  RSS can easily be integrated in the classroom and my personal life.  I could have my students to create blogs to post to homework assignments to and subscribe to them on my Google reader and I would only have to check for assignments in one place which saves me time as far as checking each student's site constantly looking for the assignments.  I subscribed to a couple of educator blogs, so now I will be recieving their updates as they are made for new technology available and feeds available from the pioneer woman which assist me in my professional development.  It would also be cool to connect with my future peers in my school to share new, exciting ideas as they happen throughout the school year.  RSS is definitely worth the time and effort it took to set it up!
