Having never really used a RSS Aggregator feed before, I was skeptical about how one could be used effectively in the classroom. But then I explored feedly.com a bit and realized the ease at which a teacher could create a useful and practical tool for her students. I added about seven different links that concentrated on different areas of English lessons, literature and modern examples of how these things can apply to the real world. Links such as the NPR and New York Times's book list as well as TED talks and "article of the day" seem like really useful tools to use in a middle school or high school english classroom. It would be fun to have my students explore the feed and pick out one or two links to concentrate a project or presentation on, even if it's just simply reading one of the books offered on the a best sellers list.
