RSS feeds in the classroom

RSS feed is a way for teachers to provide current resources to their students. These resources can be accessed by students at anytime, form anywhere. A classroom could set up their own RSS feed, and students and their parents could subscribe to it. Teachers could post assignments for those students that are absent. Teachers could also post upcoming due dates and upcoming events. This is also a good way for parents to see what their children are learning in school.Teachers can locate news items on a particular theme, copy them or create links to them onto their classroom blog, then have students read them. The teacher could then create their chosen activity to follow up such as: class discussion, critique, review, debate or perhaps writing onto a class wiki.
