Exploring the RSS and setting up a feed reader will save me a lot of time and energy. Keeping track and up to date with all the information that is published on the internet will be so much easier now that I have set up a RRS feed. More importantly, it will give me a place to organize and keep track of information that I want to share with my students. For example, if we are doing a project in class I could select several blogs, wikis, or websites that I want my students to search. According to Richardson 2009, “students can be immediately updated when information about research topics is published”. Once today’s students inter the workforce they will have to be able to consistently collect relevant information quickly. Teaching students about RSS feed is research and information fluency skill that meets NETS. I believe that teacher students about RSS feeds will make the more effective researchers.
