The highly touted (well maybe in my mind) right side feature of the CDB site, Google of the Week is actually a poor person’s RSS feed, probably one of the easiest ways to syndicate content is to link to a search that produces a customized query result.
This week, just to highlight the silliness of definitions, [...]

Scott at EdTechPost recently blogged about a desire for an RSS feed from the Low Threshold Applications site, a collection of how-tos for teachers, designed to be powerful tasks they can do with a minimum of fuss.
The LTA site is one of those ideal for RSS-ifying: there is a regular format of content, updated [...]

For those that have beeing following (or not) the Learning Object experiment’s here (see Back to TrackBack), we have applied the MovableType Trackback concept to every item in the Maricopa Learning eXchange.
With some time to tinker today, I cooked up a new trackback summary tool that allows one to check out the trackbacks [...]

The more you click around the web, the more you see information rich sites that could do a little bit more good by adding RSS feeds to their content. It’s even worse when you scan the URLs and sense that the content is idling away in a database. Like Clara Peller’s inquiry for beef, we [...]

Ahhhh, it is a tough job but someone (not me) has to go to Hawaii for the Learning Objects Symposium 2003, part of the ED-MEDIA 2003 conference.
Learning Objects on the beach. Awesome.
Actually this looks like a worthy all day focus on LOs with some world experts, and this site has all of the [...]

“I could have had class. I could have been a contender. Instead of what I am, a bum”
In the July/August 2003 Technology Source, Mary Harrsch makes a claim (#623?) for RSS - The Next Killer App For Education.
As blogged by David and George, the slapping of “kller app” may be over the top, but it [...]

The “obligatory legal” statement in the footer at Heather Champ’s blog, harrumph! scared me enough. I would not mess with it

It’s been a jam packed day at the New Media Consortium 2003 summer conference in lovely (humid) Blacksburg Virginia (Hokie-land, Virginia Tech).
The Maricopa Learning eXchange got a large dose of exposure today, and I am thinking many people are going home thinking “Gotta do a Google on RSS“

Yesterday’s workshop, or “blogshop” for faculty at Chandler-Gilbert Community college went very well.
It was much to cover (and most was not) in 2 hours, but we got many of these teachers excited, curious, interested in the tools available via a blog. The blog provides all of the information needed to do this as a [...]
