RSS Page Reflection - Part 2

I am very enthusiastic about using RSS feeds in both my personal and professional life. (I am currently not teaching, so I do not have the opportunity to use RSS feeds in the classroom at this time.)

For my professional development:
RSS feeds keep me current with upcoming teacher workshops, various French current events, as well as with what other teachers are doing in their classroom. 
When I return to teaching, I will use RSS feeds to stay connected with other faculty and exchange information between disciplinaries.  I can use the connections formed and information learned from RSS feeds to expand what educational resources I use in the classroom.
 
For students:
RSS feeds will impact my classroom by providing students with an efficient way to stay connected and informed about course work, teachers and peers. RSS feeds give students the ability to follow developing stories and news in their chosen genres. By using RSS feeds in the classroom, I will be modeling a valuable life skill that students can used in their professional lives.


For parents: 
I can use RSS feeds to stay connected with parents and students. I can integrate RSS feeds with email on my class blog, allowing parents and students to subscribe and get their class assignments, etc. emailed to them.
