When educators share their enthusiasm for RSS they usually start with an explanation of what it is, I probably did the first time shouted about RSS for learning. The truth is, most teachers (and students) don’t care; they just want more effective and more reliable ways to expose their students to inspirational and accurate content streams.
What if you could expose your students to multiple examples of inspirational and accurate content streams and have it delivered directly to your students inbox. What if you could bring the BBC journalist, leading experts and commentators and Twitterati sharing their thoughts and opinions with your students?
Step 1 Find RSS
You can get RSS feeds almost everywhere these days, Great news sites, publishers, industry pages, social media and curation sites. That includes the BBC, blogs, itunes, itunes U, Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, Evernote and Pinterest.
Step 2 Bundle the rich learning content
Use RSSMix.com or Google RSS Bundles to collate a group of selected RSS feeds into one master feed, delivering a whole bunch of learning goodness.
STEP 3 – Present or Send the content
Most hosting sites, blogs, school learning platforms will allow you to embed the content, and most email accounts will allow you to receive RSS content. So embed it or email it.
