#15 RSS and #16 Subscribing

RSS feeds are helpful when collecting information/news etc...particularly something you are interested in. While this is so, it can take quite a while to sift through the feed(s) looking for the info you want. It definitely has its educational uses and would allow students to group feeds from (potentially) a wide range of sources, credible or otherwise. The best use for my classes may be simply keeping students up-to-date with current classwork or homework, although I can currently do this via our college Moodle site. The subscribing 'danger' is having too many feeds to consider relevant information from.
