Opening up a Whole New World through RSS Feeds!

I have JUST discovered RSS feeds and despite being a little frustrated with my laptop, I am ecstatic over the concept of the feeds bringing my interests to me rather than me searching for them!  What a novel, forward-thinking 21st Century tool!!!! The BEST part of all of this is the TIME it will save.  I cannot thank the creators of this ENOUGH!!!!

One of my favorite blog sites is Education Week and since I am also passionate about professional development, I also link to the Learning Forward blog. One of the blogs recently posted dealt with "Evaluating Technology Tools"

Stephanie Hirsh, Executive Director of Learning Forward, will be interacting with many technology developers over the next few days to discuss "education space." She intends to raise questions and challenge these developers to give the questions posed in her post thoughtful attention. She is hopeful that if they can successfully answer these questions, they will find educators eager to partner and confident in the results they will acquire together. Hopefully many will discover the "game changers" we need to accelerate the process of improvement in schools everywhere.

Personally, I can foresee using this feature (the RSS feed) in my online teaching for my new teachers and having them utilize RSS feeds with their own students!  In an educational era where "time" is so critical, the use of RSS feeds can only maximize teacher planning, teacher and student collaboration, and other 21st Century learning skills.
