Week 3: RSS Feeds

          So what is the RSS feed tool? RSS feeds is known as a technology that helps you to keep your favourite website organized and notified when there is an update on there feed. It is known as a form of bookmarking from the old days (oh how technology just keeps changing, so quickly). The RSS feed does not have all the problems that bookmarking had, as RSS feeds put the website into categories for you, which makes it a lot easier to find what we are looking for (Rowse, 2010). This makes become a digital citizen a lot easier!

So if you are a sweets lover like me, but want to watch your figure I suggest give this blog a look through.

There are many positive aspect when looking at technology, The RSS taught me that it is digital citizenship is important because it teaches you communication, responsibility, and collaboration. Therefore, to be a digital citizenship you have to focus on the positives that the online world can you, create a digital footprint (Ribble, 2015).

     What kind of tool would say you a RSS feed is for your personal learning environment? I would personally place the RSS feed into both an organizational tool and a socializing tool for my PLE. The reason it is an organizational tool is because it puts all of your websites in categorizes, keeping all of the updates organized. The reason it is also a socialization tools is because when on others blogs you are able to interact with other by communicating back and forth with comments. As the comments gives the blog more meaning.

       Do not forget everyone it is important to become a digital citizen, so join and start using the technology and tools provided to become a digital citizen.
