RSS

RSS = Rich Site Summary/Real Simple Syndication

At vet.edna.edu.au there is a link to a slide cast "RSS for Educators" (http://docs.google.com/present/view?skipauth=true&id=dvpk9nm_66wj633cfw) that provides classroom applications for RSS as a small part of the presentation. Refer to slide 61 onwards.

Some applications suggested in this slide cast include:
  • Have students subscribe to each others blogs and/or the teachers blog
  • Have students and parents subscribe to your blog, podcast, or wiki feed to keep abreast of what is going on in class
  • RSS Feeds for News, Blog, and Website Searches
  • RSS Feeds for Bookmarks
  • All the feeds can be aggregated with the same feed readers used for blogs, podcasts, news, and other media sites
  • RSS Feeds for Media
  • Media hosting sites (e.g. YouTube, Flickr, etc.) organize individual media content (images, video, audio) with tags"
