RSS and igoogle
Where would RSS be useful to me?
I can think of two areas straight away. The first would be library related. I would find it useful for new updates on library information sites, new books which are out, new films which could be useful. Literacy wise the sky is the limit. I would also be useful with news links.
In the class room it would be a useful tool to find out if students have added to thier learning blogs (something which I intend to utilise next year) It will save me time and ensure that I don’t have to keep checking the same sites every day to see if they have actuallydone anything.
Igoogle.
I like igoogle. It is fun. It would be a lot more fun if I could work out how to add a lst of my favorite sites to the page. I love the fact that it is personalised, I like the fact that I have been able to includeupdated links to library information sites (and a library comic strip too) Even better I like being able to access my emails from that page. If any one has any advice please let me know
I just have to remember to keep focused on library and teaching stuff and not get distracted by all the great, trivial, fun bits and pieces I could also include. (who knew that there were so many Doctor Who gadgets available)
