Do you sometimes forget to look for new material on Technology in Teaching or other wonderful websites?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) may be a solution. CommonCraft provides a much more entertaining explanation than I can, so please take a look at their great video.

The CommonCraft video mentions Google Reader as a page from which to read your subscriptions (you can also get Google Reader on your smartphone), but any personalized "home page" can generally accept subscriptions:

  • My Yahoo! (click on the "add content" button)
  • iGoogle (click on the "add stuff" button)

Some subscriptions also allow for material to be emailed to you -- but give the reader/personalized home page a try.
