Wow! I always heard about RSS and explanations describing how easy it is to use. It's true! Go to your favorite Web-sites and click on RSS if it is available. Instead of you going to your favorite Web-sites to search for new information, the new information comes to your Google Reader. I like that! Plus, Google Reader places an "Add a Subscription" button at an easy to locate top left hand corner of the screen, which makes setting it up rather intuitive.
There is no time wasted searching for new information in your favorite Web-sites. RSS allows for more coverage over less time since the new information is sent to you. This means that I can read more from my favorite Web-sites in my personal and professional life in less time.
I already have RSS feeds coming to me from teaching instrumental music and band director Web-sites. This afternoon, I plan on reading the article about teaching tuba basics and listening to the pod-casts from mock clarinet auditions. I'll be extracting pertinent concepts to be shared with my students.
