This was one of the most difficult parts of the 23-Things Project, for me. I bogged down and had a hard time bringing completion. I like the fact that I could go back and listen to the directions several times to help guide me through the process.
I found some cool feeds to access and I even shared/put a link to one of the sites I found, on my Facebook page. I love "think out of the box" ideas that cause people to be creative and encourage them to move!
I feel like I am usually VERY observant....but my favorite thing I found out during activity 8, is the fact that on my internet Home Page, under "Favorites"....I now have my RSS favorite feeds right where I can find them easily. I never even noticed the tab for "Feeds" beside my favorite sites. Duh...wonder what else I've been missing?
As for addressing the usefulness of this tool, in the classroom:
I can see how students assigned a group project can quickly share ideas and current info through feeds. If one member of the group spots info that another member may need for his/her portion of the project, sharing feeds with notes could be a great way to spread resources to the people who need them most.
I can also see how teachers could use RSS feeds to keep up with pertinent information/data, such as presidential election results; medal counts during the Olympics; hurricane tracking-severe weather; ACC Tournament results, etc.
