Thing #5 RSS

I have never heard of RSS and did not have a clue what it consisted of.  I think this is a really neat site for students or anyone to go to read articles.  If one wanted to set up many articles on an RSS it would be a great way for someone to go to one site for interesting articles to read.  This can be a big time saver for all to use. This article about 10 Reasons Students Prefer Learning Online caught my interest because I never thought there would be so many reasons a student may like learning online vs. learning in a traditional classroom. One of the main reasons could be a student could sleep in and be on their own schedule.  I also believe a student could focus on their work online wo distractions from others.  Some students seem to not be able to focus because of others around them. 
Since I am not very technology savvy I have found that RSS could benefit many and these assignments are getting very interesting and take some thought.

  1. I love my RSS reader. It allows me to follow all the blogs I want in one place. It also lets me keep up to date with what the "thinkers" in education and technology are contemplating on a day to day basis. It's a great way of sharing ideas.
