I actually learned a lot about using the RSS feed. Basically, all I knew before was that there was some way to keep up with changes on other sites, and that a lot of site had funny little orange sound icons posted on them. I had no idea that the two were linked. :) It's exciting to me because I know of several good educational sites that are regularly updated, but I often miss out on important articles or topics because I don't know when to check. So learning how to use the RSS feed was really helpful to me. I subscribed to Scholastic Book and About.Education on my blog so that I would be able to use the new resources or articles to aid in my teaching.
One way I might use the RSS feeds is with educational journals, for my own benefit, or (as with Scholastic Book) to update my class on a new book series they might enjoy. I could also use it to give me ideas for book talks or read-alouds in the class.
