Thing 10


The use of RSS feeds is an invaluable tool for tracking new information and news items of personal intrest. I started subscribing to RSS feeds two years ago, after my wife purchased a computer for me at Christmas. My older laptop was too slow, and crashed often, so it was time for a change.
I chose Google Reader for my choice of readers, and subscribed to several health and education RSS feeds. I like the fact that I can choose specific RSS feeds and receive up to date information on those topics. RSS feeds can be assigned by teachers as supplemental reading for students, and professional development.
Teachers can use this information in wikis and in blogs.
