RSS Feeds/Podcasting/Blogs
Scope
This guide will help the user to locate resources directly related to Blogs, RSS Feeds and Podcasting. RSS is a “pull technology” which checks the Internet hourly to see what you might have been added to your favorite topic. This technology can be used by subscribing to RSS feeds and further collecting these feeds using an aggregator. A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a website where regular entries are made (such as in a journal or diary, mostly text, but some do contain sound and images). Podcasting is usually a digital audio file which can be downloaded and may include a mix of voice, sound, music, video, or photos. These technologies allow for innovative programming and learning applications.
