I always wondered what that little RSS symbol meant. Really Simple Syndication helps you tag or keep track of your favourite sites. Rather than going back to the original website, blog or wiki you can subscribe through the RSS link and have the updates and changes come to you.
The RSS in Plain English http://commoncraft.com/ is very helpful. Like RSS for dummies! My type of video!
I have just set up a class blog and will use this tool to link myself to all 26 blogs through the RSS feed. Therefore I can be notified when students make changes to their blogs without me having to trawl through each of them daily. I like how it definitely saves you time!
I also had a look at my local newspaper online...a first...actually enjoyed reading some articles online rather than opening a rain drenched newspaper. Who would have thought! But there were no RSS feeds available, probably because it’s only published twice a week.
Something I will use now!
Well done. I'm really pleased you have already put this one into action.
