Thing 5

Creating the account was very simple since I already have a Google account. This offers a simplified view of web articles that I have subscribed to down to just text, pictures and video so that I can pan through the information as fast as I pan through my email. This is a good way to gather a shortened version of information from one site and be able to easily access only what you want. I still need to go back and begin folders for this information to be stored which will make this tool even more valuable. Sharing of documents from these folders seems easy although I haven’t tried it yet. I still have a lot to learn about this tool. A good article for Newbie’s like myself is http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-9745368-2.html . A good website on RSS for everyone is http://www.feedforall.com/rss-videos.htm it contains video on how to use and the usefulness of RSS which I plan to watch and share with my colleagues and students. http://www.blogdigger.com/index.html is a site I plan to explore to create group of feeds for all of my topics of interest. This is a wonderful easy to use tool, which I plan to share with my colleagues, family, and students.
