RSS Feeds

Aggregator

Wiki's

One new tool is the RSS feeds. Having a Yahoo account makes it very easy to add the feeds from favorite sites. For example, //Edutopia// is always fun to read and thought provoking, but it's easy to forget to go visit the site. With a RSS feed it will come automatically to a person's aggregator. The problem is that RSS is addictive--be cautious of visiting places such as eSchool News ([|http://www.eschoolnews.com/)] or sites related to a favorite pastime as it is easy to add multiple interesting feeds in a blink of an eye! (Roberta says: AMEN!!!)

If you use a Google Home page it makes a wonderful aggregator also. I find that del.icio.us is addictive also. I have transferred many of my browser bookmarks to it and can hardly wait to share those resources with my teachers. The best part of sharing the bookmarks is that now they are in one place and can be accessed from any computer. I had been making resource webpages to share links. Del.icio.us is so much easier. (Now all I have to figure out is how to share.)
