Thing #11, RSS Feeds.

Discovery Exercise:

  • Sign up for Google Reader--okey dokey
  • If you've followed any blogs from your companions in 13 Things, they should already show up (in Google Reader)
  • Add at least 3 other blogs, online newspapers, or websites. I added, Media Matters, Huffington Post's College feed and Poynter Online for Journalism.
  • Write a post reflecting on your experience with RSS feeds and news readers
I have used RSS feeds on Moodle, which I find helpful. I have yet to use them in class as an assignment. I encourage student's to check them out, but may have them do more this semester in Intro. I like being able to "see" what others are discussing. Glad you have me back on it this August with an assignment. There is just so much out there floating about, it's easy to "forget" what can be utilized.
I look forward to seeing what others in this workshop are adding. How do I make myself a follower of them all, Lisa? So far Jane and I seem to be reading each others work. Thanks.

    Hey Suzanne--
    Did you figure out how to follow other bloggers? there's a follow button on the blog, or you can click on the RSS or "Subscribe" button in the tool bar of your browser.

    I'm following everybody. I actually find it easier to look at my Blogger dashboard in this instance (scroll down when you're on the dashboard, and anyone you're following will shop up below).
