Thing 8 - RSS Feeds and Readers

I was introduced to RSS Feeds with our Blackboard software. The Google Reader Tool is wonderful with helping to manage the flow of information. I like the idea of any tool that works to help manage new information on the web. Trying to keep up with individual sites by trying to check them regularly is wasted effort. I plan to use this tool as part of my time management for keeping up to date with what's happening in the field of education.
