If you spend much time online to follow new content in the blogs or websites, certainly you know that it is very hard to check these websites individually. But using RSS you can easily scan through headlines and read each article to decide which ones are worth reading right away. But what exactly is this technology? And, more importantly, how can it benefit you ? Let's learn together !
What is RSS ?
RSS means that Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary however it is often referred to as the feed or news feed. In the early days, if you wanted to keep track of updates on your favorite website, then you had to bookmark it in your browser and manually visit it frequently to see if there were any updates. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could tell your favorite websites to let you know every time they update? Well, this is exactly what RSS does. RSS allows users to keep track of their favorite websites without having to manually visit the website each time.
Exactly I had no idea about RSS until the Tecnology and Material Design Course class. In the lesson our teacher said that we have to follow blogs about education or anything attract our attention. And when she showed a lot of educational blogs as an advice, firstly I thought that "Upps how I read these blogs one by one ?" Fortunately, right after she mentioned about RSS and I felt great relief. RSS reader (software) can be downloaded on a computer or used as an online. I use Feedreader. Thanks to the feedreader I can follow blogs regularly and manually.
This is my feedreader's secreenshot:
I am following several educational blogs and my favorite is ozgekaraoglu. Because her sharings are about teaching English through technology and web tools and applications to help educators to develop themselves. Her blog is really impressive and I totally appreciate her projects which inspire me about being effective teacher in the future.
I'm glad if this post assists you :)
