Blogs, Wikis, Chapter 5

In the second reading today, we learned a lot about what an RSS is. I had actually never heard of this term before and when I started reading the chapter I was very confused as to what it really was. I was surprised to learn that an RSS actually brings information to you, instead you always having to go to many different websites to get your information. This kind of reminded me of our delicious account but it seems to be smaller and more hands on, in that, you can’t have as much information and it is more accessible with one click.  One major thing that I really like about this chapter is that it goes through the process of how to have and use RSS.  This is very beneficial because I probably would not have tried an RSS without these easy to use instructions of how to set one up and how to navigate through them.
            As a future teacher I know that I will use RSS to organize my resources because after reading this, I have actually already went and created my own on iGoogle.  And although I have not begun to fully use it on a regular base yet, I feel like I will use this a lot just because it is very convenient and even setting it up was easy to do! As a teacher, I can see how this would be a very beneficial way to organize your resources for your classes, so that they are more convenient and you can access them more easily.
