I absolutely love the RSS feed site and believe knowing how to use this will really benefit me as a student and teacher; it is an awesome way to receive up-to-date info on topics relevant to what I am studying/will be teaching without having to wade through all the junk on the web. It is very easy to navigate, once it is set up, and I feel a certain amount of protection using it because I don't have to give out my e-mail address to receive information. Hopefully, this will lessen the risk of getting weird emails and/or viruses!
Just being able to use this resource shows my new-found ability to navigate and use the web, and the ISTE standards I cover involve modeling use of the web, working collaboratively with others through virtual environments, communicating relevant, updated information and using a variety of digital-age resources. More standards could be covered, especially if I have my students use this resource!
Some other things I really like about it is that you can easily share information with others, it is easy to organize info., and you can just skim headlines and choose the whole articles you want to read, saving lots of time. The Google Reader RSS site will be of great use for me as a teacher, and I have already enjoyed the benefits of using it! :)
