"Writing for the internet, and specifically writing for blogs, is informed by a different context than the paper writing we ask of students for class." Thus David Parry argues that the use of RSS is needed in a blogging classroom, as it enables the linking and citation needed for internet writing. "Reading on the internet requires two separate skills: one, the quick analysis to find what is worth reading, and the second, a switch to slow analysis to carefully consider what has been found. What RSS does is allow students to make this distinction, to receive content as "bits" easy to scan, and then to select what they want to read."
