RSS Feeds & Web 2.0

This week for class I learned what an RSS Feed is. Beforehand, I had no idea. The RSS Feed that I added to my blog was really interesting and I decided to display the three most recent articles on my blog. I was a little overwhelmed creating the delicious and goodreads account and adding every member of my group to each one and then adding links or adding books and rating the books. I feel like since I have already added each member of the group now and have a feel for the websites now each week will be a lot less stressful.

Web 2.0 allows individuals to securly share information creatively on the World Wide Web. I didn't realize before when I was blogging on my personal blog that I was using a system called Web 2.0. I now see this in a lot of areas of life. When people create second lives on the internet, or when people update their facebook information, or when parents post new pictures of their children to their family blog they are all accessing and using Web 2.0. They are all sharing information creatively on the internet.

There is so much information available on the internet for anyone to access and use. I never knew that so much existed to help teachers become better and more efficient in the classroom. With information comes knowledge and with knowledge, power. I hope that I can keep finding more and more ways to become and effective teacher.
