Module 8 - Managing your flow of information on the Internet

This module looked at Google reader and RSS feeds - a format for delivering regularly changing web content ie news sites, chat sites, blogs, etc.

I found this very useful as a time saving resource for myself in terms not needing to hunt down information but having it sent to me at regular updates.

This could be useful in the classroom for older students to get information on current affairs or topic specific information for research and course information.

It's great that I now know what the RSS icon means as I've seen regularly on webpages but I realise that subscribing to too many pages could lead to an information overload and not so much of a time saver after all.
