There were several things I liked about RSS and newsreaders. I liked that I had the multiple news sources that I usually check together in one place. I liked that I could bee bop back and forth in them. I also liked that I was able to introduced to several news sources that I not thought about visting before. I also checked into some other feeds about movies and music that seemed intesting.
I will be able to use this technology at work by going to my Bloglines account rather than surfing the various news websites that I usually use to discuss current events. I think that as I get better, I will be able to use Bloglines better in my Advanced Placement Psychology classes. I could see having student research a controversial new psychology finding using Bloglines and then having them do an online discussion over what they found out on Bloglines. They would be using other people's ideas to better shape their own.
In my personal life, I can see using Bloglines to follow music that is of interest to me.
I think that schools/classrooms/libraries could use RSS technology to offer students access to large amounts of data without subcribing to expensive data bases. I am going to go and read what my media technicians thought about this tool and see what they wrote. I think that they may have more ideas about the utilization of this tool than I do.
Cool stuff yet again.
Thanks, Elaine
