Thing #3

RSS Feeds- the ability of the average person to create and publish content to the Internet certainly creates an avalanche of information out there that feels overwhelming. Thank goodness for RSS to help us consume all that information in more effecient and relevant ways. The content comes to you instead of you going out to get it. "Real Simple". Now we don't have to click thru all the sites that offer information on a certain subject. We can have those sites directed to us all in one place! We can use the information now, or store it for later use. Better yet, no spams as in email! No junk to filter through to get what you are looking for. If you have a classroom weblog, students can get information about research topics immediately, and updated information can be delivered in a timely fashion. If this doesn't make them more effective consumers of information, nothing will! Great stuff!
