  • 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.

    Written in 2004, this article discusses the idea of requiring students to submit work through blogs that are available to the public, and why that method can be of benefit to growth of students as writers.
