Thing 10

RSS feeds are those little orange buttons I see on almost everything but never knew what they were! Now I know, and I am so glad I do. :) RSS feeds allow you to subscribe to whatever you find important, and have all of the new posts on one conveniently found page. Instead of searching through all of your favorite blogs and websites trying to see if something was updated, you can go to your home page of Google Reader and have all of the updates right there, in one spot. This is definitely great for teachers because really, how much extra time do you have to go searching through posts? You don't! You can instead spend five seconds and go to one page and see everything you were looking for. So, if you subscribe to eight hundred different teaching blogs that have ideas on what to teach and how to teach, you can now find them all in one place! This is also a good tool to use to stay up to date on current events. I know I do not always find time to be able to watch the news, so be able to subscribe to a news website and get the news on my own time is very helpful. RSS feeds help me keep up to date with the things I find interesting, without have to search for them.
