During week 3 of ADED 1P32 I learned about what an RSS was and created an account on Feedly! I never really understood what an RSS was until this class, I would come across its icon but I never knew what it meant - its essentially a program that helps keep you up to date with your favourite informative websites or blogs, Feedly is one of the many RSS's out there. I subscribed to a Brock University Student Blog site and absolutely love it. I was surprised with the creativity of most articles, and as a student at Brock the advise and humour within the articles was extremely relatable. My favourite post was about exam preparation, an excellent read for students who are looking for new ways to get ready to write those final exams. I struggle with time management and a fellow Badger's blog post gave me useful tips.
After exploring Feedly it made me realize how important it is to leave a positive digital footprint. Feedly has access to any personal but public blogs, so its important to be mindful of what you post. Feedly would be categorized as Academic and Communication under my PLE. My Feedly has multiple categories in which i follow various sites/blogs (e.g. Philosophy, News, Astronomy, etc...)
Im looking forward to exploring more blogs and sites in my Feedly, I love that it is iPad friendly - I can be up to date with the latest posts so easily. Im spreading the word - I even told my roommate about Feebly and she intends on making an account too!
Hi Kylee! It really is great you're finding these tools so efficacious. Watch some of your spelling, there's a few lower case "I"s in there and Feedly is spelled incorrectly in your last paragraph. Just want to help ensure the technical aspects of your digital footprint represents the same mindful approach as your practices. ;)
