Product Description
A powerful technology, but a simple concept, RSS ('Really Simple Syndication') makes it possible to easily access frequently updated content on the Internet. RSS allows you to 'subscribe' to content and have updates automatically delivered to your computer. Many Web 2.0 tools, including blogs, podcasts, and wikis, have been made even more useful with the advent of RSS technology.
Let expert John Hendron show you how to use a news aggregator to harness the power of RSS for a variety of purposes, including classroom projects, professional development, and keeping students and parents informed.* Learn how to use free and inexpensive software such as Garage Band and Audacity to manipulate audio files and create podcasts. * Explore the pros and cons of various blogging platforms. * Have your students blog, and use RSS to deliver their assignments to you automatically. With RSS and the Read/Write Web, the possibilities are endless.
A glossary and an extensive list of online resources round out this essential guide to the power of Web syndication.

 Great Introductory book July 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book gives you an excellent introductory to Rss, podcasts, blogs etc. I would recommend this book for those who need a quick, informative read about
web 2.0. If you already blog, podcast or use RSS, I think the book will be nothing but review. It really has been written to introduce these topics.
 Very Impressive May 28, 2008
Though only half way through, I've already found so many ways I can use this book for the classes I am teaching. This book is full of great classroom examples that teachers from all subjects--social studies, literature can use.
I especially like the charts and graphs in the book, that seems to make concept of RSS crystal clear.
