Thing #5

Getting started with RSS

I have been subscribing to a few feeds for a while now so this is something that I am familiar with. I like getting information this way. It's like pulling out only the section of a newspaper that interest you and not having bother with the rest of it. While looking at some of the required feeds, I read a very comical article on Techlearning entitled What if the government mandated that all kids learned how to ride a bike in school? This blog is about how we have a tendency to over think things in educations. Learning doesn't always have to be difficult. It can sometimes be a very simple process. It's doesn't always take a act of congress to teach a child a simple lesson. I think the author of the blog said it best when he said "Shouldn't we all just give our students a push in the right direction to get them started down the road of learning, run along side of them to give them guidance, help them stay on the right path and pick them up when they fall off." So simple, yet so true.
