Thing 15 - Staying Informed

For this thing I explored RSS aggregators. I have been very curious about that RSS symbol on different webpages that I have been to. With this tool you can subscribe to the feed and get updates from that website. It is a lot like subscribing to a magazine, but you get daily updates. It is also nice that all of the things you want to stay current on come right to you instead of you having to go to each individual website. This save a lot of time! I am not sure how I would use this with my students yet, but I do see the advantages for me. I will be informed about new ideas, trends and news in the education world and music education world. Plus I can continue to add feeds as I find more things I want to keep up on.
