Though RSS feeds are a simple concept , when you have to create one from your own voice or content it becomes complicated. There are so many different types of RSS- Real Simple Syndication devices. This going back and forth between my desktop and the computer, to my favorite websites and videoblogs has been a little tiring. I made the mistake when I initially saw the Feedly RSS, I loved the "look" of it but found myself not only needing a website to drop the information into in order to create this splash page. Then I noticed something. This site was more connected and formatted to twitter, google reader and firefox. They now have a Safari plugin of sorts. As i felt the stress headache coming on I realized that the whole point of this was for this process to be easy but I kept on trying to understand its ordinances- I wanted my magazine like page. I even tried to place it into an html snippet/ on iweb. Needless to say, I found bloglines set up to be the most efficient and user friendly.
After going to Bloglines I realized that their search engine only allows for certain types of blogs. I didn't realize, (once again this years motto, simple dumb stupendous)that you can do a feeds search right onto google without ever going anywhere else. You can go right to the top of the page and click Reader and add subscriptions there. Also you can add the directly to your blogs home page. But I would first suggest you go to the site and click on "community" or "blog" to get the correct URL address. If you go to the Reader page in google it shows that these are quick simple steps. Simply click ADD and type in the URL. You can also import directly from your reader only problem I encountered was that the small window only shows 4-5 options and has no scrolling capabilities.
Well today I traveled across blogs with the speed of light. I realized I did the assignment incorrectly. Well, I have subscribed to Wimba because it has forums and blogs and news the show me the latest in technology. Wimba is a course management system that even Michelle Obama has used.
I keep up to date with the latest in eLearning. This site is a community that collects and organizes the best information on the web about elearning.
The blackBoard blog interests me because of it being associated with K-12 education. Anytime I'm in need for information I start there for a raw opinion about detailing the inner workings of conferences, expanded learning opportunities, and its simple outline. This online source has grown to the point of proficiency.
Edutopia is a great site for gathering anything from videos to factual informative information about what changes should be made apparent within education.
