Thing #8: RSS

What do you like about RSS and readers?

I like that I can keep up with blogs and news all in one location. It makes it much easier to keep up with what is going on in the sports world since I can receive updates from ESPN, SBISD updates, CNN updates, and my friends' personal blogs all from one website. With limited time for lunch, the reader allows me to quickly catch up on what is going on in the world from 1 page.

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your school or personal life?

Students can use the readers when conducting research, especially on current events. The students can add subscriptions to their reader based on a particular topic. They can also use their reader to follow places such as the Smithsonian to learn about upcoming visits and events.

How can libraries/teachers/administrators use readers or take advantage of this new technology?

Libraries/teachers/administrators can use this to keep up with educational and district news and trends. Readers will allow us to keep actively learning in our field.
