Welcome to the 'Online Web2.0 course' for teachers!

Week 3 - Developing a Personal Learning Network with RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Home Page Tools

The big ideas: We can make connections and aggregate content far beyond the four walls of the classroom. Your own personal learning network can be formed from educators all over the world.

This week's task:
Sign-up for a RSS reader (like Google Reader) or sign-up for a personal home page (like Pageflakes). Start adding RSS feeds from your favourite websites and bloggers. Discover and add to your personal learning network!
(As always, feel free to blog about your experiences!)
