The second step in the All Together Now: A 2.0 Learning Experience is RSS feeds. Here’s the Common Craft video for RSS in Plain English:
Thing #2 of the program takes you through a discovery exercise of:
- Defining and learning about the basics of RSS through readings, video, and tutorials.
- Exploring two RSS readers, Netvibes and Google Reader. Michael the instructor prefers Netvibes, but I decided to try out Google Reader as it has always been the RSS aggregator I could not get into.
- Next they were asked to subscribe to the program’s blog, as well as some suggested blogs from SLJ and some of Michael’s favorites.
- There is also a nice list of some of the popular feed search engines.
- Finally participants are asked to post on their experiences with the tools they discover.
That ends my coverage on the Learning 2.0 experience for this week. You can see my response for the program on my Kens12Things blog. Thing #3 will be coming next week.
