I set up my RSS reader and added feed many weeks ago when we began using blogger for this class. I have thoroughly enjoyed sporadic updates from the cooking, photography, travel, news, and education blogs which I follow. I like that it keeps a "news feed" type list for me that is self updating so that I don't have to worry about searching through bookmarked links on my computer to keep up with my interests.
I can use the education and news blogs that I follow in my academic life to relate the material that I am learning at school, which helps me understand it better. I can use the cooking blog to better my nutrition and relaxation when I am at home, because I enjoy cooking and find it to be rather relaxing. I use the photography and travel blogs, simply for enjoyment and relaxation. After a long day of going to school, followed by work, followed by housework, I like to just sit down in my big comfy papasan chair cuddled up with my dog and look over these things on my iPad. It is one of my favorite ways to end my day.
I have found ways to use RSS Readers in every aspect of my life. There are many feeds relating to management and serving and the pizza industry and the burger industry, all of which relate to my jobs.
Teachers can use RSS readers to collaborate with other teachers about issues, lessons, and technology in their classroom, essentially using the blogs as a support system.
