Coming to grips with “Latest Headlines” (aka RSS)

There’s so much to read on the web.. you might want to keep in touch with several sites at once. for example i like to follow the news headlines from The Age, and my favourite radio shows on the ABC.
You could visit each site individually.. or you could use an “RSS reader” to keep in touch with the latest updates. RSS readers are becoming increasingly popular. google has a good reader.. which you have access to if you’ve signed up for blogger dot com or any other google service.
More details about subscribing to feeds and headlines over on the flexivet 23 Things site – including a list of places you can go to find new blogs or podcasts.
For your own reflective learning, write a new blog-post:
  1. Which headlines did you choose.. and why?
  2. What could be the advantages of using RSS headlines?
  3. What fears might people have.. and how could you allay those fears in your learners?
