Thing #8

On a personal and superficial note, RSS and newsreader is perfect for my insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip and news. How perfect it is to read about out all the juicy stories in one place! It can be a bit overwhelming if you don't keep up with it.

On a more important note, I could see using RSS to stay abreast of current news topics or perhaps a unit of study where my students need to find a lot of information in a quick and concise manor. As far as libraries??? Well...not sure. I guess I will have to see what others say because I don't know why students would use an RSS in the library unless it is part of a classroom project. Of course, Librarians would find the same value as I would on a professional development note.
