Setting Up an RSS Feed Reader

In this course, you have set up an RSS feed reader so you can subscribe to RSS feeds of interest. You’ve also had the to opportunity to view the RSS feeds that your class members have subscribed to, as well as to explore RSS resources and aggregator services to provide you with a foundation for using RSS for teaching and learning. Reflecting on this experience can be helpful as you move forward in using RSS and an aggregator in your educational setting. Please post a "comment" in response to the following questions (and support your responses):
  1. Describe your experience in setting up a Feed Reader and subscribing to RSS feeds. Was it a positive one? Were there challenges you had to overcome? Do you think subscribing to RSS feeds is useful for educational applications for both teachers and their students, as well as for professional development?

  2. Which class participant's RSS Feed Reader page with subscriptions did you like the most? Refer to elements in the “RSS Feed Reader Rubric” to support your decision (include the URL).
