Twitter Do Now 12/3/13

Using Twitter in our school's education is a great idea to use in a regular basis. It can be used to do in class project, do nows, and more. Teachers can have their students # work so they can it check and grade it online. Students will never be able to lose there work anywhere because it will always be online for them to edit whenever they need to. Maybe in the future other social networks can be used in our school. 

RSS Assignment

1. I subscribed to the sites I did because they show things I am interested in.

2. Most of the sites it was easy to find the RSS Freed because it was at the bottom or the side of the page.
  
3. My favorite site is ESPN because I can get all the information I need about my favorite sports teams.

4. You can use RSS Feeds for many things. When you RSS a website you remove the need to manually check the site. 

5. I am going to start using RSS because all the information is sent to my dig account and I don't need to look for it.
