Abstract
Today we face a problem, not of information scarcity, but an over abundance of
information. Getting useful online information to flow to you is critical to keep pace with
the explosion of online knowledge.
We often find reliable and interesting sources of information, but find it difficult to keep
returning to see what’s been posted recently. RSS feeds and feed readers help deliver
up-to-date content from the sources you choose. This session will explain what an RSS
feed is, and how you can use a feed reader to aggregate all these updates in one, easy
to read, place - and keep them out of your inbox.
In this session, we will give examples of typical feeds an educator might want to keep up
with.
