RSS - Really Simple It Is!

...and it is also addicting!

I think that using RSS feeds is a great way to cut down the time it takes to travel to all your favourite (or required) websites and possibly shuffle through information you may have already read. Here you get it all in one location and can quickly scan the items that are of interest to you - like a one-stop shop!

This technology is a very simple tool that centres could incorporate into their webpages as another way to stay connected to students - now we just have to make sure that students know how to use it as well. Using RSS feeds as a means to collect research about career trends and other career centres would be effective as well, once initial searching for useful sites and subscribing to the feeds has been completed.

My verdict: YES to RSS!

Already Behind

I am a huge fan of blogs - I read blogs from people I know, about gossip, fashion trends etc. and while I am an avid fan of reading, I do not know how people keep up with their blogging efforts.

Already I am behind on learning and blogging about the Web 2.0 technologies, which I guess is some insight into how technology trends can come and go before the semi-saavy even know.

I will report on RSS and wikis soon!

Post # 1

Welcome to my first blog post.

If asked, I would say I come from the technology generation and know most of what there is to know about technology. And yet this is the first time I have posted on my very own blog.

I look forward to documenting my learnings about Web 2.0 on this blog and hope this programme will create some "ah ha!" moments where CBCD can use technology to increase engagement with our students.
