Thing 4

RSS is a great way of coordinating things! Bringing the desired information to you instead of wasting time logging in over and over to a website or blog to find there's nothing new is such a waste of time. This just makes so much sense! So far, it has been very easy to set up. However, maintaining it might be another thing altogether.

I think that reading all of the "feeds" could become time consuming if you follow a large number of them. I will need to shop around and choose sites/blogs to add that will provide the best sources of information for my particular needs. Since my needs are ever changing, I'm bound to have an evolving list of "feeds".

  1. Personally I love to read newspaper and therefore this is very useful. I'm still figuring out how we can effectively use it in school.

  2. I'm wondering what if students had their own account. One required feed would be the teacher's blog. This way they bear the responsibility to teach or inform parents because the updates are there. Also, of course, parents with the interest could rss the blog themselves.

  3. I would love that! It could have requirements, as you said, but also allow for individual choices, like mine with genealogy. Very Montessori! :-) However, policing student use could present a problem.
