RSSing my day

RSS makes complete sense to me. It is just like having the news delivered to my house- only I get to specify what type of "news" to read. I really do not have any questions about it.

I use an RSS feed on my son's Twitter account for his band. This keeps me posted to what he is writing and what is going on. I suppose I will find other sites I can use for personal use- like the news or whatever. I have to explore this first.

Professionally, I hope to find some feeds that give me ideas and hints for things to do in my classroom in regards to classroom management, organization and lessons. So far, I have found one that just gives me one technology-in-the-classroom idea per day- I like that. Not too much to swallow in one gulp. I either like it and use it or delete it. If anyone would like the link, send me a note!

I would like to figure out a way to introduce this to my students..and if there is any way to monitor this. I am trying to figure out how subscribing to a feed would be useful to my students. Perhaps getting them to subscribe to our own classroom blog- but I know I have many students without internet access at home. Perhaps we could create a class "bloglines" account- and keep current on whatever topic we are studying... hmm... I am starting to get a glimmer of how I could possibly use it.
