RSS Feed
RSS is a great way to stay caught up on current events in science. I hope to use the feeds that I have from the current event sites to help my student to complete their ‘In the News’ project. In this project they have to go to different science current event sites, read and print off articles that interest them, and summarize the articles. These are then made into a book for a grade. This activity encourages reading and science. By having the RSS for the sites, the students can just go directly to Google Reader to see what articles are new. This way not time is wasted.

I think that is a great idea. I could do a curent event for ag class as well. I have an Animal Science and Ag. Ed RSS the students could check out.
ReplyDeleteJust think about the ways you can tailor the feed for students. They could see the current research or thoughts in your subject.
ReplyDeleteKristen,
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great use of RSS. Some of the kids I tutor have to do this assignment in Science, and this would be such an easy way to find reputable Science articles.
They could subscribe at home so they could access the sites anywhere!
