Google Reader is a great way of keeping up to date with the latest information from your favourite sites. So far I have subscribed to some of the blogs created by teachers from the Web 2.0 course. As I become more familiar with things in cyberspace I'm sure my list of subscriptions will grow rapidly - the number of RSS feeds on my i-Google page have already!
I can see that RSS feeds could be integrated into any learning experience. For example, students could include RSS feeds onto their blog or wiki sites that relate to the content they are studying - eg RSS feeds from the Bureau of Meterology if learning about weather or from NASA if learning about space. It's just a matter of ensuring relevance to the content. Personally, I love being kept up to date with the latest cricket results from across the world and with the Ashes about to be contested, that's important!
Take care - Cara
Great stuff Cara!! I can't live without Google Reader !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Mick. I must admit that I'm still getting my head around Google Reader. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to a new way of bookmarking for me.
