Thing #10

RSS and Newsreaders...I'm not too sure that I like this type of technology just yet.  I had never used it before and I found it kind of frusturating.  I didn't know how to go about finding feeds and that sort of thing.  But once I figured it out I did subscribe to several feeds.  NPR Education, CNN Education, Educational Technology, U.S. Department of Education, and Infoplease--This Day in History being a few of them.  Out of those I liked CNN Education the best, but being that I am a regular on CNN's website I kind of find the newsreader pointless.  I can see how for some people it would come in handy because you can get everything all in one place without having to go from site to site.  That aspect of it is very useful but as for me, I will probably never use it again.  I do think that it would be useful with teachers.  If you had to find an article that you had read very quickly and you didn't have time to search the entire internet, this would be useful because it narrows it down so much.  It definitely has its benefits, I'm just not sure it's totally for me.
