Web 2.0 and RSS Feed

I am quite excited to use RSS feed. It is very convenient to be notified about new posts and be able to read those posts in the RSS reader. This will save me much time. Often when browsing my usual sites, I get distracted by other material on the site. Sometimes I even forget what I came to the site to find. Subscribing to the RSS feed of those sites will diminish my distractions and still allow me to receive the information I am seeking because all of the updates from the various sites I am keeping up with will be posted in one place.

RSS feed will help me with teaching because I can subscribe to websites that have information I can use in my teaching. These websites include Utah Education Network, School District Websites, Edutopia, and many other beneficial websites. Another thing I could do would be to subscribe to the RSS feed of students' good reads book lists. This would allow me to keep up with what my students are reading and what their thoughts are about those books.

Web 2.0 has so many excited things. I am looking forward to using good reads and delicious. I do not feel that I am as familiar with these sites as I would like to be, but feel that with some quality time spent exploring the features of each of these sites I will be able to benefit from all that they have to offer.
