Thing #10

I just discovered rss feeds for the first time. I was a little afraid of not really knowing what I was getting myself into. In my personal e-mail account I would look at that little symbol and wonder "what does that do?". Well, this little button allows a person to subscribe to various websites and blogs and THEY send them to you whenever you choose. Awesome, right? I subscribed to all five feeds recommended to us in the activity. I was amazed at how easy this was. I clicked on Google Reader and it appears I already have an account because I have a GMail account. All of the blogs I've chosen as faves are already there for me to read. I never knew??!! Personally, this will help me to keep up with the latest news in education, as well as, my personal interests. Teachers could use this site to compile a list of subscriptions for classroom use during instruction time.
