The first thing you think of when you read about RSS feeds is home delivered news directly to you as it happens. There is no quicker way to catch wind of a breaking story, or a brand new blog post. If you take the time to set up your RSS feeds correctly to the news/blog websites that interest you both professionally and personally.
Once again, this module exposes us to yet another tool that is integrated with Google. In a way it is all connected. As we know, Google is the first place we turn to when we need information so it makes sense to to be able to use the power of Google in so many different ways. Feedly makes it easy to track your favourite websites.
As to how this could be used in the classroom, well it could be useful if the class is following a blog or news website. A website like ABC Splash could be set up, so that every time we switch the class Mac Mini on, we are able to have Feedly inform us of the latest updates to the website. Another way it could be used is if our class was connected to a class on the other side of the world. It saves time during lessons as we won't have to check each day to see if there is a new post.
