Thing #6: RSS and newsreaders

This took me forever to figure out, but I finally got it!! I originally tried working on this while I was at work, unfortunately our school computers would not allow me to watch the tutorial video or read the resource pages correctly- they just would not load. I became frustrated with this discovery exercise and left it alone for quite a while. Now that I have successfully created a Netvibes account, I am in love. I will use this every single day for personal use. I feel like I am too busy to check every website I want (social, news, financial, email, blogs, etc.) and now I can find everything in one spot and skim through to find what I need at any moment. This is going to be the biggest time saver and help me feel up to date with the world. I'd have to say that I think this may be my favorite exercise, at least so far. I can't see using this with my students, but it will benefit them since I will use Netvibes as a teacher resource to collect articles on education and keep up with new ideas for lesson plans. I am not including the link to my Netvibes account simply because I included links to my email and facebook account, therefore, it should be kept private! I am so glad I figured out this assignment!
