Living and Learning in Central Oregon

RSS – Real Simple Syndication – is way cool.  The web is huge and there is soooo much out there how can you read it all? The anwer is RSS.  What this handy dandy feature does is bring the web to you in very simple, short, concise portions.  Let’s say you have ten websites you like to visit.  Going to those websites on a regular basis takes up a lot of time and energy and sometimes the stories on them are not worth your efforts.  With RSS you can subscribe to a website and then recent postings are sent out to you along with a short description of them.  This allows you to visit the sites you want and read what interests you most – think of it as kind of sneak peak to a website.  I use iGoogle as my home page and as my RSS reader but there are other ways to gather and read RSS feeds.  Visit http://www.edutopia.org/tech-teacher-RSS to learn more about RSS and/or watch this video:
