I have never heard of RSS before reading this chapter. I have seen little links on web pages saying RSS, but i have always just disregarded them. I had no idea how this could help my web searching. I have about fifteen web pages that I visit every time I open my computer. Having the ability to have updates all in one place, instead of fifteen (which I am sure will just keep increasing as I get further into teaching) will be amazing. I especially like the idea of being able to get information from resources that you have not subscribed to yet, but they have relevant information on a topic I would be interested in. As my RSS feed starts to increase, I will have to make folders for different subjects of information to better keep everything organized. When I started setting up my RSS, it was a little confusing, but quickly became rather manageable. There is a lot of information that I am still sifting through, and that the book will come in handy when trying to figure out the different aspects of RSS.
I like how I can help students set up a RSS feed for the classroom. The teacher who said that we are like a personal guide for the classroom, made a good point. We are supposed to feeding students the most accurate up to date information possible. By having a good RSS feed, endless amounts of information is at my finger tips without overwhelming me with pointless ads and junk. RSSmix. com also seems like a real asset for the classroom. By being able to take all of your students RSS feeds and feeding them to this one that you can then attach to The teacher feed. You can continually see what your students are doing to update their RSS. This is a lot of information, but maybe with an RSS feed it will be manageable.
