My Feedbook
Over the last while there has been a bit buzz about the idea of feedbooks. For me the idea could work really well, my content area is constantly changing and there is a huge amount of resources out there on new media design and web design generally. In the past I've encouraged students to use RSS feed readers and talked about that fact RSS feeds are part of the reason "I know stuff". Last year I think about 5 set up bloglines accounts and one started to spend way to much of his time reading RSS feeds. !!! This year I've build an OPML file to give to students. If you interested here is the OPML file.
This approach is a bit different to the one Kirsty has taken mainly because my students should be able to deal with RSS feeds etc and part of what I need to do is give them to tools to be able to keep up with the area.
Now it's going to be interesting to see how many students start using it.
