Thing 7 RSS

How exciting! I had no idea what RSS was and I see it regularly in the URL bar.
I have subscribed to a number of feeds and will continue to find more. It allows me to catch up on NPR when I can't listen. I plan to use RSS as a news and information resource with my 7th graders. We play a current events game called newsbowl each week. My students could set up a google reader for each of the topics such as world news, sports, national news, etc. and they would review them each day to prepare for our competition. I am SOOOOO excited about this. This digital immigrant will become a native soon.
