Students were to look at three different websites, each containing a different poem by W.H. Auden. On each site they would be required to highlight and explain a different piece of information from the poem. They would then be required to synthesise the three seperate explanations they had given about the poems into a conclusion on the overall message contained in Auden’s poetry, which they would post on the forum on our diigo group’s homepage.

A great lesson idea from readwritethink. Students predict the content of a post by reading the "advertisement" for that post in an RSS feed. After making predictions, students write those in a T-chart. Then they read the blog post and figure out if predictions were right. They use the other side of the t-chart to indicate whether their predictions were accurate or not. If students were inaccurate, ask them to explain their thinking Why was their prediction inaccurate? What would have helped them to make an accurate prediction?

Though this post is written for college students ready to take the GRE as a part of what is required for graduate college admission, what the author says here applies to younger students as well. Establish a reading habit, and you'll develop higher comprehension skills over time.

ong declared dead in some circles, feed readers remain an outstanding way for students to self-select fresh new content about whatever they’re interested in. I strongly believe that we should spend time helping our secondary students to set up a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Apple’s Reeder). Once that is complete, in-class time should be spent helping students subscribe to each other’s blogs (if applicable) and to other blogs in content areas they find interesting.

Voila! In as little as two class periods, you can help students to create their own free, individualized collection of reading material, delivered directly to them as soon as more content is published, which will never run out. Research has shown that students with more access to good reading material in their homes tend to attain higher levels of education in their own lives.

A blog post from August 20, 2012 that discusses the value of RSS feeds for providing a never ending source of reading material based on interests and enjoyment. In a very short time, students can create their own free, individualized collections of reading material. That kind of access contributes to many students achieving a higher level of knowledge than would have be possible otherwise. Another side effect of using RSS feeds is that students might be encouraged to write more blog posts themselves, and interact with other students' posts.
