How would you use RSS & Google Reader with students and parents?
For class applications, I would let students/parents use their Google Reader Accounts to subscribe to my BlogSpot site that will feed them with updates on class lectures, content summaries, lesson plans, newsletters, video embeds as additional classroom resources.
How about for your professional development?
Having to receive updated and real-time information from sources of interest in just one place (Google Reader), I will have the advantage of keeping myself relevant and current with any information pertaining to my professional and my personal interests. This where the common cliche is realized: “Knowledge is Power”!
I will just have to exercising proper speed reading techniques and to purposefully select what essential feeds to read in order to really benefit from this technology.
What type of RSS feeds you searched for?
I searched RSS feeds that pertains to Math, Science, Photography, Music, Technology, Blogs, Videos, News, Sports and others…
What is your favorite and the most interesting feed you found?
My favorite and most interesting feed is that from TECHNOLOGY. It’s amazing the myriads of technology innovations are presented in every minute!
What was easy to do with RSS? What was difficult with RSS?
The easiest thing to do with RSS was subscribing it from a site that has RSS feed capability. RSS subscription was difficult from sites that do not have feed capability or are capable but did not have any RSS link. I discovered that I will add the extension ?alt=rss to the URLS of blogs from BlogSpot.com.
