My Experience with RSS Feeds

The task of ADED 1P32 this week was to familiarize ourselves with RSS feeds using the web tool “Feedly” which lets us follow blogs and filter out the important posts that pertain to our interests. I’ve always noticed the little RSS feed logo on my Tumblr blog but I never paid any mind to it till this past week. Having a MacBook and using Safari for my everyday World Wide Web activities then having to use Firefox for this course is a challenge but I’m getting the hang of it.

Using “Feedly” my first experience with RSS feeds was a good and interesting one. I got to know important information about Brock having the Ontario women’s basketball championship trophy named after their very own assistant athletic director Chris Critelli. In high school I was very involved with the athletics so being able to have this on my RSS Feedly was pretty awesome. Also another story on my Feedly was an Edutopia RSS about an educator sharing how using a microphone while he teaches has improved student learning comprehension and behavior. I enjoyed reading this because I also agree. Being in university in lecture halls of 100+ people using a microphone is the only way to teach so that everyone understands.

Its crazy how much technology has evolved over the years to be able to do things like RSS feed. So much was done and learned in such a small time frame it amazes me. After using Feedly for this weeks assignment I think it is an essential tool that everyone should be familiar with because its time efficient and easy to use.
