WOW! I never knew there was a way that I could read the news more efficiently while drinking coffee. This excites me greatly. I'll definitely be spreading the word to my aunt who is a total news junkie.
I used the RRS feed to add some Geology in the News websites. Every week I go looking for an exciting news article to tell my class about. They really enjoy hearing about any recent geologic events. The earthquake in Hati was a big topic in class. Though we learned a little about earthquakes in class last term the students had many questions to ask. Other topics we have touched upon include volcanic eruptions, the fluctuating costs of oil, the high price of gold and even a little outer space geology. I find telling them news stories about geology keeps a keen interest in the class.
Using the RSS feeds is going to help me greatly. Now I won't have to search through so many websites. I can just do a quick scan to find what's new and pick my next hot topic for class discussion.

Thanks for the tip Warna. I was looking for ways that anyone in our group is using RSS feeds in the teaching environment. I actually just found a feed this morning that I can use for classroom purposes - yea.
ReplyDeletePS: you mean that you can actually drink coffee and read the news at the same time - you are way ahead of me; I an only do one thing at a time!!
