Hi everybody! I am here to introduce a very simple and beneficial tool for following blogs or sites which are about our personal interests, jobs, experiences. If you are not a blogger or any blog user, don't worry. You just download and add your favorite blogs and BUM! Whenever they post, it comes to your feedreader. Okay I am going into the details, you'll find out how to do it.
What is it?
It is RSS or "Really Simple Syndication". It is an easy communication tool between publishers and readers. RSS feeds are not time consuming, you won't waste time checking or visiting the sites. When the new contents is published, you'll be notified about it. And even you can categorize them according to your interests.
There are many RSS options, you can download to your personal computer if you wish, or just simply use it online by signing in with your Facebook/Google account. I am using Feedreader. It is very simple. You can choose some different groupings like according to their tags, sources etc.
Here you see a screenshot of my feedreader. I follow some ELT bloggers and my friends' blogs. The number of the updates I haven't seen are shown in parentheses. And you see a post of one of my favoruite blog: All at C.
All at C is a blog kept by two bloggers who are very facilitated ELT educators. They share lesson plans focus on videos on their blog. Posts include a video and a theme, activites about it, for whom it is suitable, also teacher notes. I strongly recommend it to all ELT teachers and teachers-to-be. It is a very entertaining blog for not only for students but also for teachers. You have a lot of alternatives for your students' level.
This is all for now. I hope this post will be useful to you. And if you have a favorite, I'll be glad if you share it with me. See you next week :)
