Thing #10


RSS is a very valuable site.  You subscribe to the specific feeds you want to recieve and it sends you all of the updates from that feed.  Instead of going out to each individual website and browsing through it to find what you want, you simply sign on to Google Reader and it has the latest feeds of all of the sites that you choose.  You can have as many sites sending you feeds as you want.  It is really useful for people who check news feeds and sports feeds or any type of feeds.  My favorite thing about RSS and newreaders is that you pick exactly what you want and it  sends it to you.  This saves so much time having all your favorite feeds in one place.  I can use this in my personal and and school life by subscribing to teacher feeds and other feeds that I am interested in outside of school.  One of the feeds I subscribed to was "A to Z Kids Stuff."  It has all kinds of ideas for teachers to use in their classrooms.  You choose the grade you are teaching and it shows you coloring pages,  articles, art recipies, all kinds of activites you can do with your students.  I found this one to be the most beneficial.  With many feeds from different educational sites, teachers can use RSS to their advantage by learning about new technologies as soon as they emerge.
