RSS feeds (Really Short Syndication) can be embedded onto a site (e.g. classroom Google Site via a RSS widget) which will display the latest news/stories from that website/blog. This could be a good way for students to be kept up to date with latest local/national/international news (e.g. RSS feed from ABC News, Sky News etc.). Students can also create an RSS feed for their own blog to allow others to follow.
Feedly is a place to keep all your RSS feeds in one place. Once you create your account (login with Google), you customise your homepage by choosing sites/blogs etc that you want to include in your news feed. Think of it like your Facebook news feed but just for seeing new activity from websites you choose. As a teacher this can be a perfect way to keep up to date with the latest trends, ideas, innovations in your field of education. There are so many interesting and insightful educational blogs and sites that are worth following. If a teacher wants to follow their student blogs, Feedly provides the most time efficient way to do this (you don't have to actually go and visit 30 different blogs to see what's new....the posts get delivered to you!).
Why use Feedly?
Instead of you having to go and check your favourite blogs/sites regularly to see if there's any new content....with Feedly, the content comes to you in one place!
