Chapter 5 - RSS: The new killer app for educators

There is no doubt that this is a great resource for educators. This App creates a nice reading space for those who are looking for specific types of information on a daily basis. I also think that its' ability to search for pieces out there that may be of interest to you and let you know when it comes up.

I can even see this App working for me in the classroom as I read about its' different searches for groups, weblogs  etc. The different feeds can be combined among all the students to have one workflow. Great possibilities for research and opinionated projects.  It is important to identify your specific use for any tool or you may become overwhelmed.
