I think that RSS is becoming easier for me to understand. I can see great benefits of using this tool, both in my classroom and in my personal life. I subscribed to the science feed from US News & World Report, and I had previously subscribed to a feed from Scientific American. I think that if I try to make it a habit to check my Bloglines (or Google Reader since I haven't decided which one I like best yet) account on a regular basis, this would be a great way to bring in current events into my biology classes. Personally, I was able to subscribe to the blogs of several friends and their families which will make it easy to stay informed and see their photos.
I didn't really see a great advantage to subscribing to a Delicious tag feed. I think that just went too far for me right now. Maybe as I adjust to some of this new technology and start to use it more comfortably, I will find some benefits to it. I was also having trouble using Delicious because when I click on the Delicious toolbar icon that I installed, my computer has trouble letting me add things. But, I'll keep working on it. I guess this is a place where a few growing pains might come in :)
