I am going to start tomorrow with my rss feed experiment. I set up a my yahoo page to read my rss feeds at school (since bloglines isn't available), and I am going to demonstrate how to set up an rss feed for my Model UN club members. They are going to be writing their resolutions and position papers, and then keeping up with research on both for the next two months, and I think that using rss feeds will be a great tool for them to have the most up to date information possible. I'm starting with this group because they are academically gifted, and I know that they are all willing to try something new. If it works with them then I will teach my AP US History students, and if it works with them then I will expand it to my American Government class.
I would really like to have the kids blogging, too, but I'm just not sure to what end I would have them do it. I don't want to ask them to blog for the sake of blogging - the technology resources aren't available to justify this - so I think that I am going to hold off for now.
