RSS & Curation

With RSS You Can Create Your Own
Online Newspaper
RSS in Plain English
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU
What is RSS? RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication or Rich
Site Summary.
It is a web page with a .xml file type that can be subscribed to and read by a newsreader (aggregator). The aggregator will find the new content and display it when it becomes available.
Newsreaders (sometimes called aggregators) are very easy to find and use (stand alone applications or through a web browser).
In essence, it is content that comes to you, instead of having to search for it. It will save you an infinite amount of time.

Social Bookmarking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x66lV7GOcNU
Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata (tags).
Folksonomy (from folk + taxonomy) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking
Social Bookmarking Tools
http://www.diigo.com/ http://www.delicious.com/
Social Bookmarking Tips1. Great for groups researching a topic together or an
instructor that wants to share great websites they have found.2. Others can subscribe to your bookmarks or individual tags
and receive them whenever the publisher adds a new bookmark.
3. Create working bibliographies for projects by ensuring they share a common tag.
4. Build lists of resources with fellow students/ teachers (decide on common tags first).
5. Create a network with friends or fellow club members with whom you share an interest.
6. Spend a few minutes planning how you’ll tag so that your tags are consistent (remember – no spaces within tags!) Plural vs singular Teacher’s names / course names
7. Clean up your tags periodically using the delete and rename tag functions.

Activity 2
1. Sign up for your own account.
2. Install the two buttons in your browser.
3. Surf the web and find at least two (2) sites
you want to bookmark.

clicking the "Tag" button and then enter the
title, description and tags (optional but
recommended).
