Thing #5 - Getting started with RSS

It took a little work, but I finally got all 5 sites in my reader. I had a hard time with the Techlearning site and I'm still not sure it's done right. Anyways, on the NYT site I went with baseball (Like that was a surprise) and was disappointed that every entry I clicked on was unavailable. Now, it could have been the computer (I was reading on my conference period!), but who knows? I'll try again later. The one blog that really caught my eye and interested me enough to read the blog and all of the comments was Innovate or Die. This is in the Student2oh blog. The student wrote a very thought provoking blog, but the comments were just as thought provoking. Most of the comments were teachers trying to dialogue with the student, trying to gain a better grasp of his points, but he didn't really respond. His point is that students are no longer consumers of information, but producers with youtube, facebook, blogs, etc... a very valid point. What's intriguing to me is they are producing information, but is credible information? One of the commenters asked the same question and to this point, the author has not responded. I am interested to see if this post continues to grow or not. My guess is that this one has run its course.
