Blogs and RSS
Blogs have always been an essential part of the social web. In particular, teachers have used blogs to share ideas, successes, and failures. They have been used to promote reform and allow frustrated teachers an opportunity to vent. The success of blogs in education and every other field is partially because of RSS feeds - the technology that lets people know when new content is available. The following video gives you a quick overview of both. RSS in Plain English
