Chapter Five

Chapter Five
RSS

     I must say that the first time I read this chapter, I was overwhelmed.  It was confusing with way too much information about RSS.  Then I read the chapter a second time, and understood it better.  I like the idea of putting in certain topics and getting the content from different sites.  I'm constantly looking for information concerning: teen social issues, current events concerning teens, teen health issues, etc. to share with my students.  Using RSS may help me find more information and quicker.  I can see, as the author said it can become a "building block for personal learning curriculum." 

     Again, there was way too much information for me to absorb and try with RSS.  The good news is that it's in the book and reading it several more times, I may understand it all.  I do think the hard part for me will be to check the feeds and make it part of my daily practice.  Got to make the time!  Right now, I'd rather go out for a 20 mile bike ride!
