Yes. We should promote RSS workshops with a fun, catchy name. Maybe something like you said RSS this! Really Should See This! It makes our lives easier and, in a certain way, more productive (or not, for I tend to extrapolate what I should focus on and keep on following links suggested on posts, new tools, etc). Still, it’s hard to get busy educators to listen to this…

Thanks for dropping by, and I’m glad you liked the post. Common Craft have an updated version of the RSS movie available now too if you want better sound quality for your seminar. It’s available at the Common Craft Store but as it’s their commercial version you can’t embed it. I did contact Lee from Common Craft a while back though and he said they had no problem with people linking to it for educational purposes, but it doesn’t look as nice to have a simple URL link on a blog page

All the best and look forward to your next posts

Carla, I know what you mean about RSS, it’s one of those tools that you know people would love if they got round to learning how to use it, but at the same time, with limited spaces for ICT training seminars I feel “guilty” in some ways looking at RSS instead of… blogs, podcasts, Moodle etc etc. I shouldn’t do really, I wrote the RSS module for the course and I know that RSS will help folk. It’s just not as exciting as all the other cool Web 2.0 tools.
