RSS Feeds
RSS Feeds are slick! I enjoy using RSS feeds because they allow you to grab a little information from a lot of websites. RSS feeds are great because they are so easy to incorporate into a blog and they keep the blog up-to-date even in if the user hasn't posted a new entry recently. I personally like using them to keep me current with stock prices and news articles.
I teach at the high school level and feel feed readers have a valuable place in my classes. We discuss many things from GDP to stock prices so could be very valuable for students to have information being brought to them instead of them always having to search for it. The only drawback I see at the moment is the appropriateness of some of the articles that could end up in students' feeds. I feel high- schoolers are mature enough to be able to handle it but it might cause a problem at lower levels.
Pennsylvania does not follow the common core at the high school level but using an RSS feed reader in my classroom meets the following ISTE Standards: 1D, & 3B,C,D
