Hello, curious waffles. Today we will talk about what is RSS? Is it beneficial?
What is its extended version? Is it free? How can we use it? Etc…
RSS means "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication". RSS is a program which enables people to see all the sites they follow in the same time. I know it doesn't make sense but ı want to show you an example.
These are the blogs that ı follow. As you see, it's like social media. You can surf on the homepage. In the homepage, you can see the blogs you follow, you can starred the ones you like. Then, if you want, you can add new blogs, podcasts or whatever you want. It is easy, isn't it? Also, you can always see notifications about sites you follow. Without consuming so much time, your feeds will be available all the time, they will be easy to reach. The most importantly, it is free. I highly recommend you to have an application like RSS. If you don't want to use RSS, there are different programs that have nearly the same functions with RSS like;
Feedly
Reeder
FeedReader
RSSOwl
FeedBooster
Now, ı want to explain to you a blog which ı really love. Its name is "Polka Dotted Teacher". The site is really polka dotted and colorful. If you want to be an amused and whimsy teacher in your class, let's visit that blog.
There are really beneficial teaching methods. For example, teaching students prepositions takes time and Jessica(blogger) is aware of that. That's why, she created a play for students. In the play, students build a paper airplane and fly it. Then, they take photos of where their planes landed. After that, they write sentence by using prepositions about where their plane landed. Finally, the teacher collects all the sentences and photos and the teacher creates a little book with the students about the prepositions.
It is just one of the most amazing methods she created. I think all of the teachers need inspiration in terms of using different activities. Especially, it is valid for language teachers. By creating different games for student, teachers can make their lessons much more effective and funny.
Okay everyone, these are my thoughts that ı want to share with you. I hope you enjoyed. Thank you.
