RSS Feeds for the purpose of Education: Rss Feeds can be used for so many purposes in education. The bottom line in my opinion is that it releases the stress of using countless hours trying to find something you may have seen earlier. Blogging is one of the most important of Rss Feed tools to me. I can use it as a communication tool to share with parents and for them to give feedback on something they may have wanted to discuss privately. This could also save embarrassment for parents on something that they may not have understood about their childs homework. The list can get very long. Listed below are five RSS Feeds that are important to me in education.


Technology- I would select this one to keep up with updates in technology. This would also allow me to communicate with my parents without having to reinvent the wheel when I need their input or feedback on something. I can keep them posted on things that are going on in the classroom without having to pick up the phone and call each parent.

Internet archives- this will help me keep up with tools and resources that I find valuable to me on the Internet. I won’t have to spend countless hours searching the web. This will also help me with my AR as I come across articles that relate to my research.

Blogging- can be used to not only communicate with parents but with my administrator(s), colleagues, and students. I would like to use blogging in the classroom and teach my students what blogs are and how they can use them.

News- Keeping up with the daily news is very important, not just the local news but the worldwide news. This can be used in the classroom for students to create blogs to post. They can focus on writing to write about several things that are in the news and post their views or feeling about the situation at hand.

Education Weekly (magazine)- This will help keep me posted with the new developments in education. I can us this for my own use and also share some of the information with my students and colleagues.
