Thing #10

This might be the coolest thing I have learned about so far.  I constantly, or should I say was constantly, checking every website that I like for the latest information.  Now I have it all at my finger tips with one simple log in.  I can now quickly scan one site to find out everything I want to know.  I subscribed to 4 news sites (Tennessean, Fox, CNN, & MSNBC), 2 sports sites (ESPN & CBS), and 2 educational sites (National Geographic & History Teacher).  I think this is an extremely useful tool that gets me the information I want in an instant.  As for teacher use, you can subscribe to multiple sites and get topical information to use in your class.  I can put this site on the projector and use it to start my class each day.  We can pick a topic and discuss the story.  We can then compare it to something we are studying or how something we are studying in my history class has contributed to this event.  I am now a big fan of the RSS.
