- What did you learn? RSS was completely new to me. I learned how to subscribe to blogs and I'm still learning how to track them via RSS. I can see, though, that it's much easier than the alternative which would be checking in with the individual blogs on a regular basis.
- How will you use what you have learned? I will definitely use RSS to track some blogs that will help me better keep up with current events, and I like having the ability to quickly browse through some of the tech blogs to get new ideas.
- How did you feel about this tool? This tool was easy to use, and I'm glad that I was introduced to it.
- What do you not want to forget about this tool? I don't know... I just have to not forget to use it, I guess.
- How can this be used in the classroom or in your educational role? Like I said, I think this will help me to keep up with blogs that can help me in my teaching. I'm not sure that I would use the tool itself in my teaching, but as a support for me.
- Should you use this in the classroom or your educational role? (see above)
- What questions do you still have about this tool? I don't have any questions yet. I'm sure some will come up as I get more familiar with the tool.

Week 3 RSS Reflections
Monday, August 3, 2009
RSS Choices
a. I chose the Google RSS reader. It seemed easy and straightforward and as a regular google and gmail user, I'm familiar with (and happy with) the setup of their tools.
b. I subscribed to http://ilearntechnology.com, http://austintx.newstwit.me/, and http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com.
c. I was looking for some different types of blogs to track. I have a hard time keeping track of news and events that I can use as resources in my classroom, so I chose two news feeds -- one local and the other worldwide. I also chose a technology site to help keep track of tech tips that I can use in my classroom. I also noticed that this site has great links to other resources.
