Chapter 5: RSS, The New Killer App for Educators
RSS -is to- Real Simple Syndication ...AS...
KISS -is to- Keep It Simple Silly
…until now – I’ve been a little mystified by RSS feeds. I even have a few; I just didn’t quite “get it.”
In simple terms, I’ve learned that the content comes to me – I don’t have to go out and search for it or check on a regular basis to see if something I’m interested in has been updated.
Richardson mentions that he has created a “Personal Learning Curriculum” through his RSS set up. I love the sound of this. I am most definitely a student for life. I believe this is going to be the resourceful tool that Richardson promises. And what’s more is that learning to skim and scan through these feeds for relevant information is a skill, a skill that our students should begin learning right away.
I am looking forward to organizing some feeds I can share with my colleagues. Furthermore, I would like to clean up my mailbox by unsubscribing from the tons of professional and news related emails and picking up RSS feeds instead. How exciting!?!? So that's what that link is for in my mailbox settings!
