Okay, so here's my take on this RSS and newsreaders stuff. I cannot believe in the world of higher technological powers, RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". That blew my mind. I was expecting some long drawn out title. As I started to dig deeper into this whole RSS thing, I realized you almost have to be subscribed to something to keep up with all that is out there. Information is updated constantly, and in order to stay in the loop of whatever your world is centered around, subscribing to one feed or 20 can make a world of difference.
Okay I admit, it is pretty dang cool, and I could see how it can keep a person informed about not only world events, but the arts, science, and any other subject a person is interested in. I think this would be awesome to use in a classroom because as a class it would be possible to keep up with different causes and subjects. As far as my personal life, I can see how I could keep up with special education topics and different organizations where I can get information on challenges I may be having or the latest strategies in teaching exceptional kids.
Teachers can use RSS technology to keep informed of all things related to the discipline of education and their particular subject area. I think it would be important to subscribe to a few RSS feeds in order to keep up with changes in education at the national, state and local level, but I can see how subscribing to too many would seem overwhelming.
As far as creating a public page. I am interested in doing this, but I need a little more time to figure out what kind of blog I want to do and whom my audience will be.
