I am beginning to think about the significance of RSS feeds and how they might be used in teaching. Google has a number of tools of potential importance for teaching. For example, the Google Reader allows me to aggregate blog posts from my students. The advantage of the Google Reader is that I can post feeds directly to a website. So, for example, if I want students to look as a specific story, I can add it to my shared feeds and add the code to my blog, website or even ANGEL. It would look like this:
The nice thing about this is that I can alter the content by sharing and unsharing items in the Google reader. I can imagine using it to call students’ attention to specific issues, and to have them call my attention to things of importance to them.
