  4. Welcometo the world of RSS and Web 2.0 Tools XML But….What is RSS? RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary RSSis the connecting fabric of Web 2.0 services, providing the conduit for information flows between networked learning spaces. Content syndication or the re-use of information from others on the network, often described as mashups The ability to produce information rather than consume is what sets Web 2.0 services apart from the preceding phase of the web which comprises of static web pages linked by url’s. RSS is intrinsically collaborative! Network learning - Connected information - Collaborative spaces

  5. Welcometo the world of RSS and Web 2.0 Tools and Technologies XML RSS is a bridging tool which connects feeds to your blog. ie connecting your blog to other blogs and wikis using Web 2.0 services The pedagogical considerations for using Web 2.0 in teaching and learning is about ‘Connectivism’

  7. Welcometo the world of RSS and Web 2.0 Tools and Technologies XML Blogosphere Blogs are becoming more and more commonly used for communication between students and teachers. If you are blogging RSS is a superb way of connecting with your students’ learning. However, you do not have to have a blog you can just have an RSS reader eg Bloglines and be an active participant Example: Imagine asking your students to set up a blog and to collect evidence of their learning by posting relevant articles and images and discussions to the blog. They set up an RSS feed on their blog which you as their teacher subscribe to which allows you to see every post that is entered by the students in your group. You can make comments and provide feedback to the posts in writing or in audio (using ODEO). Instead of lugging home a bundle of assignments to mark you access and read their assignments posted to the blog. As a teacher you need not have to create a blog - having a Reader would suffice. Ideally you would have a list of RSS subscriptions of every student and see what they are doing, when they are doing it, after class or through DE.
