Thing 8

I think the RSS idea is a really good one. I'm all for saving time and having information come to me just makes sense. This could be useful in a classroom doing research on a specific topic. Students could find newsfeeds and blogs on a current topic and use their reading to evaluate the credibility of the source and to gain information. It is a tool that should be shared with students to enable them to follow topics they are interested in at home. Given advance warning, librarians could help narrow down the vast resources available to provide a list of posts that may be appropriate on specific topics to teachers.

  1. I love RSS, too. It saves me a lot of time when I just want to get a quick dose of the news I care about. Yes, it's a great tool for librarians and teachers to guide student searches, too.
