RSS where have you been my entire life? I think this is true love. Or at least the digital equivalent, if love truly exists in cyberspace. RSS have solve a major problem for me. I have recently encouraged my students to download a series of biology podcasts. Unfortunately, this has involved me periodically checking to see if a new podcast has been posted on the website. Well, not anymore! RSS to the rescue!
Ah, and just when I thought life could not be any sweeter (see love does this to you) I have taken RSS to the next level and incorporated them into my first love Moodle. Now, every time my students open up their class Moodle page, up pops a list of the recent posted biology podcasts in the right-hand activity list!!! How awesome is that!!! I don't quite know why my students don't feel quite the same as I do about RSS? I really do want to share the love.
Wow...I am so pleased to have introduced you to the amazing world of RSS feeds. It sounds you will both be very happy together. Good luck sharing this with your students. I'm sure they will learn to appreciate this great tool too!!
