RSS is a technology that brings web content to you. The BBC has a new site called The Feed Factory . It is an introduction to the RSS feeds that are available from bbc.co.uk. It also includes a very good introduction to RSS for those new to the technology.
Visit the BBC site linked below and read through their tutorial about RSS. After doing the tutorial, write a response in the comments area about what you learned. Think of the application of RSS technology to education, to your specific school, to student and school data? How might you envision using this technology?

I am surprised by how simple this technology seems to be. I am going to share this with our district tech. We are looking for ways to improve our district web page.

I will look forward to having time to work with this technology. I will be sharing this information with our district library/media specialists at our next meeting.

I think this will be helpful for parents who like to keep up to date with the school site, but get upset when the updates are inconsistent. (They check and it hasn’t been updated or they miss something because it was not updated.)

RSS is such a great way for teachers to constantly update information to students when a website that the class may look at for some topic has a update or change! It would make students so excited to keep up with that particular website. How exciting education can be!
