In these conditions of our time, when there is too much information, it is very difficult to structurize it for successfull organization and realization of processes of searching, storing and editing information you need.
The Internet allows us to make our private "collection" of RSS feeds in such places like Netvibes. Therefore you don`t have to check several sites one by one, but you can log in to your private storehouse and see there, if there is some changes in your daily websites. It is a very important tool, if you must work with lots of Internet sources. For example, if your students must make assignments on their blogs or wikis, you don`t have to check each of them, because you will see the changes in you personal Netvibes page. It saves time!!
Teacher can offer his/her own collection of RSS feeds to students for preparing for lessons with any kinds of methods - traditional or active methods, such as educational discussion, reaserch, educational games etc. The advantage of such digital list of sources, is the possibility to update it at anytime, and people, who use it, always see these changes and therefore get the information that teacher wants them to use.
RSS allows not just keep you updated about changes on you daily websites, it helps you to find an information with some specific key word, that is publiced, while you are gone. Just add your Google Alerts to your Netvibes page.
Our ideas for RSS
"My subject (history) demands working with information - looking for it, systemizing it, analysing it and then using it. Since there are too much sources with different content on the WWW, RSS feeds are good way how to find, sort and then share the information. I like the idea, that I can work together with my students on creation of list of sources, and we all can update the list at any time. Also if we are using blogs for tasks, RSS feed is a great help for teacher." Laura
"As a future teacher of computer sciences, I can advice to use RSS feeds in training of social informatics and history of computer science. They are new, actual topics and there are a lot of different oppinions and information about them. If I will use list of RSS feeds as suggestion for the beginning of research. Therefore I will not limite them in choice of sources, my list is only for the beginning of the research." Lina
"RSS feeds I think is a powerful, flexible tool and the informations who is coming in our mail or pages, it is work for couple of years to come. It will be changed soon and most of WEB pages will have a RSS, because it is very easy to find an information what we needed. Second, the searching for feeds is a very useful way how to find and to control it in the way they want." Ilija
"In the future, if I will become a teacher, I will use this way of job all time. It is useful because kids will be more expresive in doing their home works and tasks, their parients will be able to see all their work, I will be able to control development of their knowledge, and in this way I, as a teacher, will be able to protect them from using uneducative materials. I will make RSS between all students, teacher and parents, and therefore level of trust will be higher, and in same time I will have more time like them, their parents will spend money and time too.
But - for beginning, in this way of work the first thing to do, is to train the teachers to use Internet tools :) After that the level of mental skills, the education of parents, the development of society. This is our start point to change..." Igor
