This is really helpful, especially if you have your students create their own blogs that you would like to monitor and view conveniently and quickly. You can set up your own RSS feed. RSS stands for "Really Simply Syndication", and it basically involves you creating your own news feed of your favorite websites and blogs. Blogs easily work into the RSS feed, but any website that has an "RSS" button on the page can be incorporated into your feed as well. (To see an example of what the button would look like, go to this site for the New Yorker. The main page has a link on the right-hand column for "RSS feeds" and then after clicking on that link, you simply select which articles you'd like to include in your feed and what service you use.)
If you have your own blog through Gmail's Blogger , you can create your own newsfeed right on the Dashboard or main page of your account. Otherwise, here are some free options that you have for creating an RSS feed:
Google Reader
BlogLines
NewsGator
Teachers have enough going on, anything that can save some time is worth it! This can definitely save you time in viewing your students' blogs, or even just keeping yourself up-to-date with news.
