I've been using RSS for a while since attending a MACUL conference 3 or 4 years ago. I have a Moodle site for my AP Biology students and have an RSS feed from Scientific American on it. I may change it after checking out some of the new feeds that I am finding during this course.
I see these RSS feeds as similar to the podcasts that I subscribe to. It is interesting to have information delivered to me instead of searching for it. Even our comcast homepage opens to the news of the day.
I do have to admit that there are times when I really still enjoy reading a good newspaper, like the NY Times. It may be that I often find myself reading something that I wouldn't have normally thought that I would find interesting.
(It is interesting, however, that I am more agreeable about reading material on the computer screen than many of my students who want to read from a book.)
