I recently came across an aritcle that was really interesting to me called "RSS Ideas for Educators". The article is quite lengthy but has a great bookmark section so you can go straight to the part you want to read. The article gives an overview of what RSS is , what it does, and how to use it. It also talks about Bloglines and how to set up an account. The article gives some great ideas for getting started with your RSS feed for example RSS feeds to discussion boards for keeping track of student discussions, RSS feeds to blogs and online photo sharing.
The article discusses the community building that RSS provides for your students. Grabbing subject specific resources for student use as well as peer produced content. Professional development is also addressed and how RSS helps you keep track of the authors and subjects that are interesting to you via blogs, video, audio, and eportfolios. The article also discusses the productivity tools and Research tools of RSS. I think that this article would be beneficial for educators because it really expands on RSS and what it can do for us in our specific field.
