So, when we did our podcast I knew an RSS feed was del.icio.us and flikr and different sites like that, but I don't know if I really understood. When Savannah's group presented I kind of realized what those sites were all about and they are really interesting. It is a way to organize your blog and on-line life while letting others get to know about you in a sense. As of right now I only have one RSS feed and that is del.icio.us and I'm so confused with it. I went to put up my links and it is not working. I don't know I guess I have to tinker around with it more. I also have the map, I don't know if that is considered an RSS feed, but I find it cool especially since I see that people over seas have checked out my blog :-)
I feel that they can come in handy with our classrooms:
1- We can set up a del.icio.us account so if we give the students an assignment and they have to keep going back to a certain website they can go to the classroom blog and go from there instead of having to remember the website themselves.
2- If the students have their own blog, RSS feeds can help everyone to get to know one another. Whether it is through their interests or even pictures, we can get an idea of who everyone is.
3- They can also keep me updates with how often my students are on their account and when it is updated.

I agree Ashley. RSS feeds are a way to bring the content YOU want to you.
Students working on a research project for example can "collect" information on their topics by incorporating RSS feeds from likely sources into their blogs.
In a sense what RSS does is set up your own daily newspaper--your own scholarly "watch."
As for your Del icio us acct...just keep tinkering.
