How might you use RSS in your personal or professional life? RSS makes everything really simple. Currently I use iGoogle as my homepage. When I first open my personal favorite browser (Chrome) my homepage is set to iGoogle. This page contains the RSS feeds of all the sites that I prefer to get regular information from as well as previews of my email, calendar, and facebook information. This is done by making a widget to display a feed. I sort of look at it as designing a personal newspaper page as my homepage. With 23 Things I plan on making a subsequent tab that will be the education section of my personalized newspaper.
Which method of subscribing do you prefer?
As mentioned in the previous section, I enjoy organizing my RSS feeds with iGoogle. I typically subscribe to a feed through this Google service. I prefer this method since it allows me to locate feeds of my choice at specific spaces within the page. For example, If I'm really into the Hobo Teacher blog, I can put his posts front and center of my iGoogle page every time I visit.
What didn't work or doesn't make sense?
Everything went fine.
You're obviously very comfortable with what we're doing here. Maybe as you go through this, your thought process can be more toward applying these tools to your classroom and expanding your student's perspectives and making your classroom more 21st century oriented.
