#8 and # 9 Week 4 RSS & Newsreaders

RSS feeds make sense, but the quantity of information that is out there is overwhelming. I am amazed at all the different blogs out there. It seems like anyone who has an interest can start a blog. The concept of social networking is amazing, and will continue to attract new participants. I found that I needed to narrow the field to what I thought was managable. I created my newsreader account and looked at sites concerning school librarians, technology issues related to education and would like to do some more searching for curriculum issues. I think you could be innundated with sites and find yourself overwhelmed if you aren't careful. RRS feeds have the potential to be very useful and helpful for staying on top of the issues, but it seems that you would need to keep your focus small as you start.
