Internet Explorer has a built in RSS Reader. It also connects to Outlook. You need a reader to receive your feeds and you need to subscribe to feeds in order to receive them. If you use Internet Explorer or Outlook to subscribe to feeds, they will only be accessable from that individual computer. If you want a reader that you can access on any computer, you can use a third party such as Google Reader.
Last year you participated in Learn & Earn 1. During that time you explored Edublogs.org and other teacher's blogs listed in the Best Teacher Edublog 2009. For this post, I'd like you to explore the Edublog Award Winners for 2009 in various catagories. Then, I'd like you to choose one and subscribe to it using Internet Explorer. Once you are on the website, you can subscribe by clicking on the orange button in the top right corner.
You will be prompted to Subscribe to this feed.
Once you click, your feed will be added to your reader. You can acces it by clicking on Favorites, then the Feed tab in Internet Explorer or by going to Outlook where you find your Inbox, Deleted and Sent folders. I enclosed a snip of the tech blogs I follow in case you would like to search for them online.
For this weeks post, please share which blog you subscribed to by providing the link and tell use something new you discovered on their blog that you would like to learn more about or try with your students.
