RSS is a “feed” or a “channel” where you can get updated news or information from a certain site. You can either save RSS feeds to a website or to a desktop. A couple of websites mentioned in the blog include Bloglines and Google Reader. I used Explorer to save a few RSS feeds. It is somewhat like a bookmarking tool because it saves that site for you. The RSS feed is different in the fact that it gives you updated and new information. Now that I know what the RSS feed button looks like, I am more aware of it on my computer. It is very exciting to know what this button/tool is used for!
I will definitely use this tool while creating podcasts. I do not think I will use RSS feeds much more than that in the classroom.
