Sunday March 8-14 Lesson 2
This week March 8-14: ‘Feedburner’, ‘Add This’ and ‘RSS Feeds’We will subscribe to a number of other blogs and ‘feeds,’ and allow others to follow and subscribe to our sites.
What are RSS feeds? I see "RSS", "XML", and "Atom" out there, but I don't know how I might use these links when I find them.
Activities: to sign up for RSS feeds, making blogrolls and for this week's specific readings have been mailed to your columbia email accounts. Postings to these questions are due by Thursday morning March 12 so we can use them in our conversation March 12 evening. Please adhere to deadlines.
1. For this week, questions to respond to are based on some of the questions that come up with respect to creating blogrolls and using RSS feeds.
How do they work and what are the benefits of adding them to my site? How can i use them as a classroom resource and to my blog's best advantage? Reply to this question after engaging in the readings and signing up for them.
2. Question 2 comes from classmate Brownie (
http://djb44tc.blogspot.com/) who is posing his based on increasing student collaboration in the teaching of Music. Suggestions and responses to his questions and comments posted on his very thoughtful blog should be posted here as a reply:
how can we help one another to envision "collaboration with students to develop a model for online communication and reflection that gives students a more active role in the direction of daily rehearsals."(please note, the following week March 15-21 there will be no formal lecture/activity for spring break though you may continue to post here and to your blogs)
