RSS Feeds

What I really like about RSS and news feeds is the fact that they take all the updates on a site or blog and organize it for you and show you all the updates in one place. This saves time because then you don't have to type in the url and follow links etc. but it helps me because sometimes I forgot what the url or site is or which was the last update. With RSS I can also know that i am getting all the updates and I am not missing anything from when I was last there.

I can definitely see myself using RSS in the future when I want to skim through headlines in a newspaper, keep articles that I want to read later and such. It would also be useful for me when I go to a site to looks at some of the updates. An example would be that since I read mangas, I don't have to continually checking all the different sites for an update on whatever it is I want. Instead I can look through my feeds and see if it's out yet or I might find something else I would be interested in that I never knew about before.

Students and teachers can take advantage of this technology because teaching is no longer just limited to a classroom. A teacher can set up a website and post assignments or links and students can just use RSS to know when it's been updated rather than continuously checking. Teachers can also post links and such to further enrich a student's learning experience.
