Okay, Thing 2 is really confusing me. I sure could use some help on this RSS thing. I have signed up for a number of magazines on graphic design. But I am not sure how to utilize this site to its full extent. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm guessing teachers use this service to compile useful articles and newsletters into one spot so they can browse through their favorite "periodicals" on a daily basis and stay current. If anyone out there is using this site, I would love to talk to you!

  1. You might wanna take a look at other current participants blogs and maybe solicit them for help if you are having problems. Also take a look at previous "thingers" blogs. They often have some pretty insightful comments and ideas as well.

  2. That sounds like a pretty good idea for how teachers could use RSS. Personally, the way I've seen people use it is basically for the convenience factor (I briefly mentioned it in my "Thing 2 blog") wherein if someone tends to visit a lot of news sites everyday, rather than going to each of those sites individually every day, using RSS is like a "one stop shop" where they can personalize it to get all their informational needs in one place. Basically the same way you were thinking teachers could use it, but more casually.
