Twitter and Instagram in Education

Twitter and Instagram can be used in multiple ways to help improve education.  Teachers can communicate with students, assign projects and discuss topics along with the students. Students would really enjoy using this as a new way of learning because it's something that they are all fairly familiar with.  I think this would be beneficial to include throughout our school.

RSS Feeds

1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?

I selected the sites that I subscribed to because I have an interest in them.  I enjoy reading different recipes and trying new dishes to make, so I subscribed to Simply Recipes.  Also, I enjoy reading about celebrity style and the different fashion trends going on, so I subscribed to Teen Vogue.

Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?

For some websites, the feeds were very clear and I could find them easily.  However, it was difficult to find the feeds for some of the government websites.

Which sites were your favorites?

My favorite sites that I subscribed to are Teen Vogue and ABC News.  It's good to keep up with what's going on in the world at the same time as keeping up with the different fashion trends.

What else can you use RSS feeds for?

RSS feeds can also be used for bookmarking articles.  You can save whichever ones interest you and always go back to them.

How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?

It is likely that I will continue to use RSS feeds.They have become easy to work with and 
have proven to be a great and useful tool.
