About RSS

Posted by: patsoares | February 2, 2008 | 1 Comment |

1st reflections on:

  • what I understood and didn’t grasp about RSS

 Rss is a technology that helps bloggers to select information they are interested in and to keep track of it on their database (reader or pageflakes).

  • why it is important in the classroom

RSS is a powerful and engaging tool to be used in the classroom: it will allow students and teachers to select the information they want and then read, check and comment it more efficiently. Therefore, web communication will become a “continuous conversation”.

  • how it could be helpful in your blogging experience

It will definitely help me to spare time since it takes me hours to see what’s new!
