RSS

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an easy and effective technological tool that teachers and students should definitely take advantage of in the classroom. Once students and teachers subscribe to a particular blog, RSS feeds allow for current, relevant information that can simply be accessed on one page. In a classroom setting, students can subscribe to their teacher's blog, in which they will have access to review current events that are happening inside and outside of the classroom. The teacher can post sites that are relevant to content material, in which students will be able to access the up-to-date information that is addressed in the blogs. Additionally, students can subscribe to the blogs of their peers, in which they will know when a new blog is posted for a school assignment. The student can then comment and respond to the blog. RSS feeds are also benefical for teachers due to the abundance of up-to-date educational resources that are added throughout the internet. This way, my planning and teaching can best fit current needs of my students.
