On page eighty one Richardson talks about how RSS feeds bring relevant material to you so that you don't have to search for it and he also talks about how this can be used for grading. As soon as I read this I immediately perked up, because it makes assignments like blogging more feasible for me to assign. I would be less likely to assign blogs because I would have to go to thirty different sites regularly to grade them, but if I can have them all in front of me then I am more tempted to play around with it.
I also thought that as a Social Studies teacher RSS feeds can be very useful in helping students complete research assignments or discuss current events. All that students or myself would have to do is type into the feed what you want and then allow RSS to do all of the work.
