Thing #10

HELP!  Really Simple Syndication.  Understanding what it is and how to do it are two separate things.  I think this should have been Thing #3 allowing Thing #4 to be the five different feeds the user would want to see every day.  I like being able to only have to click on one button instead of clicking on several buttons to get to the same place.  I also like being able to subscribe to what I want to read and see.  I like not having to feel like I have to check the web sites for updates all of the time.  This would have come in handy when I was substituting, I think I would have been able to find job placements faster.  I have worked in classrooms where the teacher was required to have their computer on so they could read any updates throughout the day, this must have been how they were able to do it.  I think this application could be used with a class that was following a news story or learning about a weather event.  Students might use RSS feeds to watch animals in a zoo or in the wild for a period of time.  Some teachers like to base their lesson plans on projects, like themes but taking most of the year to finish, and this tool could be used in the classroom and at home if needed.
