This article is about RSS feeds and how they can be used in the classroom environment. The author explains that RSS means really simple syndication and that it allows people to follow topics and blogs that are interesting to them. Almost all newspapers offer them, and they are on iTunes and blogs and are a way to track topics and stay current with friends and news. Examples are stated about how RSS can be incorporated in the classroom, such as having each student create a blog and work with other students and submit assignments through their blog.
To your knowledge how can RSS feeds be incorporated into teaching?
I think RSS feeds have become extremely popular on the Internet with Facebook and almost all news articles being able to be shared. Classes that look at current events in the news can use RSS feed to help collaborate and share resources they find. Also like the article stated RSS feeds and blogs can be integrated into course just like this Blog has for EDU 422.
Is there a down side to research done using RSS feeds only?
Yes, I believe that students need to make sure they are using historical sources that maybe not available on the Internet and only in school or public libraries.
