Really Simple Syndication
RSS allows students to keep up to date information pertaining to their current study area, and we use an aggregator to keep track of like minded Blogs which alerts you to new postings made by fellow participants. The RSS also allows you to monitor other blogs or websites that have an RSS feed. When you log into your google account the new posts made by other members are there to view at you own leisure. This would be a great tool educationally in the classroom as you and the students could save the related websites on the blog and have easy access to them. There would also be interacting opportunities as you are able to make comments on the blogs.
