RSS

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a simple way of having information sent to you from websites, blogs or podcasts. The RSS feed has to be read in a program that is capable of interpreting the feed. These can either be an application on your computer or a web-based reader such as [|Google Reader] or [|Bloglines].

You can also follow these links to handouts on [|RSS] and [|Bloglines] by Joe Freidhoff. If you need to review how to use Bloglines you can access this [|video] from Joe Freidhoff. You will need a fairly quick connection (and be patient!) as sometimes the download still takes a few minutes.

For those who want to know more about the use of RSS and how to set it up, the following is a link to Will Richardson's [|RSS: A Quick Start Guide for Educators] Clicking on the link will begin a PDF file download.
