DiSiena - Summary Reponse

RSS can help a teacher consistently keep up with student work. If students are using wikis, teachers can see what changes were made, who changed and added something, and can track what the students do. In addition, if students are using applications in which RSS can be implemented, teachers can constantly keep up with what the students are doing.

When learning about glogster, I found it so creative and would be an interesting tool to use in a classroom. I think my 6th graders would enjoy working with it. For math, I could have them continuously make posters that represent concepts they've learned and their reflections on activities. RSS would help monitor student work as students can update their posters and continuously make new ones whenever is convenient for them. Students don't have to feel like there is a deadline and with RSS teachers can see exactly who is creating new and editing current glogster posters.
