Thing 10: RSS Feeds


I have often wondered what this little orange (or blue as it is on my computer) symbol means.  I always thought it looked like the internet signal, or something along those lines.  I had no idea that clicking on it would mean that I could have access to all my favorite websites at one place!  

This new-found knowledge is very exciting to me!  I am addicted to the website, Sporcle, (you should definitely check it out!) and I was checking it three or four times a day.  It has quizzes on every subject, and new quizzes are added everyday.  So now that I am subscribed to the RSS feed, I will know when there are new quizzes, and I won't have to waste time going to the website when there aren't. 

I also really like the blog, Gently Hew Stone.  I have talked about it a lot, because it is really entertaining to read.  I have been checking back on it every three days or so, but now that I am subscribed, I will instantly know whether Huston has posted a new blog or not!  AWESOME!

I also subscribed to Entertainment Weekly to get my gossip fill, The Pioneer Woman's blog, and Do I Dare Disturb the Universe? 's blog.  Also, I am following three of my classmate's blog, and they also show up on my GoogleReader.

This amazing technology will be very useful to me in my personal life and once I become a teacher.  I can subscribe to different educational websites and stay up-to-date on current educational trends and hot topics.  I can also subscribe to a news website like CNN and give my students a headline of the day.  The possibilities are endless!
