My Feedly
I consider myself somewhat technologically savvy, but I honestly do not think I have ever encountered or seen RSS or newsreaders. It makes perfect sense that something such as this would exist because in today's society, we have so many sites that we check on a daily basis so why not have them all combined in one spot.
Although I do not really think that this is something that would benefit me in my personal life, only because I do not visit very many websites, but I do think this would be wonderful in the classroom. As a teacher, you want to always find new and fun ways to explore standards with you kids. RSS and newsreaders allow you to save your favorite sites and blogs to one location and scroll through all the different posts and updates to save you time and effort. That way you are not spending hours a night going from website to website trying to find a new lessons and activities.
This can also be used in a school since usually grade levels are usually grouped into "teams", which is where all teachers from that grade keep up with communications and plans with one another. The teams can maybe host their own blog each day or week where they share stories or issues with standards that they are having. Then, the teachers are then able to place all the additional teacher blog on their RSS and see an updated list daily and respond in an effective manner.
