So I'm back! I would like to start off by a brief explanation of what an RSS feed is and how that relates to feedly! So, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically it a way that websites make their content easily accessible through other websites! By doing this, users are then able to compile the information and websites they are using through programs such as feedly. Think of it like a very organized favorites folder, but much more accessible, and useable!
Feedly is a fabulous resource that, once you figure it out, can change how you follow and keep up with certain websites. It allows direct searched of websites, and uses RSS when your not browsing directly on feedly, to sort the websites, and information you are using into 'folders' with different categories.
Okay. If I am being honest, I was so very frustrated when I first started this session. I couldn't quite figure things out, and I was just about to give up! BUT! It is worth the time to figure out, because it feedly is such a great resource, and 100% worth the time to learn!(Even if I did feel like the cartoon at the beginning! Haha!)

Now, I usually talk about all things educational, and that is indeed a big part of my life. However the resource I found through feedly is a little different. I discovered a blog called Ikea Hackers. This site is too cool! The creators of this blog, take Ikea products, and re-purpose them, and use them in ways that they were not originally created for! Is so Imaginative and I love how they think outside the box! While this site was a 'fun' site I found, feedly opens up endless potential for my work within this class. I hope that as I continue to use feedly, I will be able to find, and follow some blogs and sites about digital citizenship and in particular digital law, so that I can further my knowledge on this topic!
Two blog posts ago, I wrote about my PLE, and I am so excited to as feedly to not only my educational section of my PLE, but also to my social/fun section!
Overall I found this session to be encouraging. While it started out in utter frustration, I ended it in contentment, as I have now discovered a new online program that can assist me in neumerous aspects of my life!
Thanks for learning with me... digitally!
