Want to know how to use RSS feeds? As I noted in an earlier post, it is a skill that just about every educator should understand how to use. RSS feeds allow you to be notified when content changes on a website or blog. This link from the University of Saskatchewan library (found via Joho- see above post) has a good primer. Check it out and learn how to use RSS feeds.
Implications for Extension Professionals: RSS feeds are a way to keep in touch with changes at favorite sites without needing to actually go the site. Even better, you can keep up with sites that change less frequently without having to go to the site. The post above gives examples of how other academicians are using RSS feeds. Do you have RSS feeds for your site? They are pretty much standard on any modern website.
