"I think that is great. Can the students help make a textbook? Can they use a wiki to collaborate on topics covered. I would love to have faculty at my community college do the same. I tried to implement a website like this for our science (biology…"

Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"I want to update anyone who is interested in this subject- I have presented this use of RSS and the use of the feed inside the course management system and it has been so well received that I am presenting 3 more times to different divisions of…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"You make me sound smart!!! LOL. But, you have made a great comparison and I really appreciate that. You have simplified it so maybe I can explain it better to people. I hope others may join us here to share information and in the discussion.

Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"There is a lot to RSS. I just wanted to let you know that my research has found many things that RSS can do. In fact, the feeling is that RSS is a going to be a major force in the future. Read the threads that are below and it will explain what I am…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"How do you get the information if you do not have RSS?"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"But I am talking about how I take my own blog feed- one I write. I produce RSS.
I now take my RSS feed, create javascript, put it into my course management system (I use both eCollege and Blackboard/Vista). NOw my blog is inside my course.
I have 2…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"I use feeds for all sorts of information like that. Diigo has a way to set up student accounts and you can create a feed of your links. It has some great tools that are great for learning.

Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"Isn't delivery of information communication?
I also have put my blog inside a course management system- it is my communication and I can use my phone and call in a message that gets posted to my blog and due to the feed, goes right into my…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"I am actually getting a lot. I use RSS feeds a lot. I create a javascript of my feed on my blog and then, I put the javascript into my course management system and the blog is inside the course. If I teach 2 of the same course, I only update once…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"Hi Ira,
Thank you for the info. I am writing an article about RSS also as I am presenting to Kaplan University at their Jan. meeting. I actually have material from Will Richardson- I think I have 2 articles that he wrote. I found some good research…"
Ira G. Wilson replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"Will Richardson's book, "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and other Powerful Tools for Classrooms dedicates an entire chapter to RSS feeds and readers. He absolutely raves about how great they are. I am not convinced, though. I have to wonder…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"I agree that I think there is more to RSS and the potential for its use. I have found some research- not much. Will make it easy to write but I think I have enough to put it together. I will let you know if I learn more.

"Kathy, one more add--it is really important to find feeds that appropriate for K-6. If you use CNN for instance as a feed for an elementary student blog or resource you may end up with a top story about a rape or murder. I looked long and hard for…"
Kathy Cercone replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"I agree, there is no research focused on it. I am presenting on it for Kaplan University- I am faculty there- and we have to write a 10 page research paper for the presentation. I am going to have to focus on web 2.0 and what there is on that as RSS…"
Mike O'Hara replied to Kathy Cercone's discussion Research on RSS and use in education (or any research)"RSS feeds are really only a time saver. You use them so you don't have to constantly check outlets (news sites, blogs, wiki's social networks, pod casts etc.) for new material.
Here is what Yahoo says on it. So do with that what you…"
"I've gather RSS feed for elementary bloggers to use as inspiration. Let me know if you want to see what safe RSS sites we use."
