I think that Rss feeds can be very helpful in a classroom. Not only can I use them for myself to gain new information about teaching strategies but I can also use then to keep my students up to date on current news. I can have my students subscribe to a feed like BBC and have them do assignments on certain stories or just to bring them in to discuss them. I can also have a feed myself to keep students up to date about what we are doing in class when they are home or if I have posted something new. This will also help parents who don't have time to go to a website or read their email. I could use it as a quick reminder for students and parents about assignment, or upcoming events.
I think some RSS feeds that are important for me to have as an educator would be something like the NY times education section in order to stay up to date about breaking education news and also the RSS feed for my school district so I would know what was happening. Also a feed from science sites could be helpful as well.
About Me
- Katie M.
- My name is Katie and I hope to use this blog to keep parents and students updated as to what is going on in my classroom. I will put tips for homework, study guides and reminders about what is due. I hope that I will also be able to communicate with parents through my blog to tell them of upcoming events and if students need to bring something with them to class. I hope that this will be beneficial for myself, for students, and parents
