Thing #10

RSS is pretty genius.  Why waste so much time searching every website for updates when the updates can come straight to the surfer in one convenient location?  I do not know what people would dislike about this tool.  Maybe they enjoy the layout of homepages as they search for new additions, who knows?  I can speak for myself in saying that RSS is an excellent tool.  Imagine having to drive to countless companies and friends just to receive bills and letters.  We can't really imagine it because we have something called mail.  All these things come straight to us.  Why shouldn't our websites do the same?

This is an excellent tool for teachers.  They can easily receive the latest in educational advances, ideas for lessons, and technological advancements to make their job more simple.  I subscribed to the Education bundle that contains several great sites, and I also found the Teaching Channel YouTube channel.  If you have not watched any Teaching Channel videos, I highly recommend them.  They are especially useful for teachers transitioning to Common Core State Standards.  The channel is fantastic for learning new strategies and activities to implement within the classroom.
