RSS in the Classroom
What is RSS?
Really Simple Syndication – is a mechanism for bringing content from the World Wide Web directly to you. You no longer have to spend your time and energy checking your favorite Internet sites to see if anything new has been posted. Just set up an RSS reader (or aggregator). It will spot these new postings and collect and hold them for you in one convenient place.
