I've seen the term RSS feed used many times but never knew what it referred to. Well, I sure am glad I learned! I found out you can subscribe to a RSS (really simple syndication) feed for just about anything. A few posts back I wrote about how I found a blog that listed many first grade blogs on it, so there wasn't a need to go "blog hopping" all over the Internet. Now, by using the Google Reader and subscribing to first grade blogs I can get the latest blog posts delivered to me, ready to read, all in one place! All of the blogs that I visit for great ideas on a weekly basis now just magically appear on my Google Reader. The Internet just keeps getting better and better! Here's a YouTube video explaining how RSS works.

I really enjoy this guy's videos. He makes everything so much easier than it initially sounds!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Beth, this was a really useful video in understanding and working with RSS. I'm obsessed and can't wait to get started. To think that everything I need can be sent to me with RSS is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI too, am amazed by how much easier google reader makes finding information. Imagine the hours (literally!) I wasted online this summer trying every google search term I could think of for iPad apps! Now they are delivered to my google account while I sleep, eat, teach, google, whatever!
ReplyDeleteAnd I swear this is the same guy doing the video I uploaded about google reader on my blog. I love his videos.
