Thing #10 RSS Feeds

I love RSS feeds. They are the best way to organize your life on the web. Before RSS feeds I remember having hundreds of websites bookmarked that was a huge pain to go through. RSS is an amazing tool that simplifies the individual going out and getting the information and rather sends it to you. I have used RSS for many years and truly enjoy it. It is so much easier to visit one website and read everything you want to right there and save a ton of time. However, if you subscribe to too many feeds, one can find themselves overran with information and it becomes a hassle to sort.  RSS is great for school because you can actually subscribe your D2L account to an RSS feed to stay up to date. Have an online class that updates regularly? RSS is the tool for you. Teachers can use RSS to find relevant information to what they are teaching, stay updated in their respective field, or even have RSS feeds from the school district or school. The applications into everyday life for RSS is truly amazing.
