RSS & Information Literacy for Students One thing that I've been thinking a lot about since the conference last week is the effect that RSS has on access to information. I know I've alluded to this before, but I think aside from the potentials of packaging and redistributing information in a variety of cool ways, all of these new technologies really require more thinking and teaching about how to find relevant stuff and how to use it when you find it.

Especially since I think our kids are way too infor From weblogged News on March 15, 2004 at 1:01 p.m..
