Response- RSS feed


Reading response:

I’ve been taking my time reading through Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts….I knew I was going to be really interested in this book and I was correct.  Richardson takes some time to talk in depth about RSS, which I did not know much about.  Basically RSS is a way to subscribe to different media outlets we already use (such as newspapers, blogs, etc) but it puts all their feeds in one place.  I decided to create one of my own and see what this was all about.  Richardson explains how he thinks this is one thing we all need to do right away and that it will prove to be great. He also discusses how at the beginning it seems like an overload of information but in the long run we will be able to weed out what is good and not good to make it better and give us each more personalized information that we find valuable.  I’m in those beginning stages so all the information seems pretty over whelming for me.

He recommends Google reader and since I already use Google I decided that I might as well start here.  It is pretty user friendly and I set it up quickly.  I began to search some of my favorite information sources such as NPR and the Courant.  Long story short- NPR sends out a LOT of information.  I have both the NPR app and Hartford Courant app, which I check pretty frequently (although my husband still insists on reading the paper we get sent to us).   I don’t quite see the benefits of it yet other than it all being in one place, although only time will tell.  Also, I don’t yet know all the good education blogs to help me in this way yet, I think these would be a great thing to add to my feed and make it more valuable for me. 

I also found Education Week, which will be valuable in helping me address CCSS.  I would love more tips as to specific blogs that are related to elementary education that anyone knows of.  I think exploring resources takes so much time that unless someone personally recommends them it’s hard to find.
