Ok, so this week we are learning about RSS feeds. Why have I never heard of this? Sometimes I feel so dumb about technology when I always think I know whats going on! I have a feeling that this will not be the last time 🙂
For my RSS reader I have chosen Google. I already had a gmail account and liked the idea of not having to sign up for something else (or remember any more passwords). I have subscribed to all the members in this class as my first exposure to RSS technology.
I think this technology will be beneficial in my teaching because as I continue on in my education I will surely run into some helpful sources and will be able to add a link in one place rather than checking out their blogs everyday. It can be frustrating to search my favorite blogs only to find out they have not posted in a week or two. This will save a lot of time and keep things organized.
I also think it could be beneficial with research topics. Just like the article we read suggested I can add some feeds that touch on a particular item that I am interested in researching.
