Thing 5: Getting Started with RSS
After reading student Anthony Chivetta’s recent post, Innovate or Die, on the Students 2.0 blog, I understood that the hyperbolic extremes referenced in the title were aimed at me. As a teacher, I am the “you” he refers to when he says, “You cannot ignore this. You cannot ignore us.” And we can’t. His analysis, although not original, that his is a generation of producers, rather than a generation of consumers, is true.
As teachers of this generation and the Web 3.0 and Web 4.0 generations to come, we must not forget that these students still must be taught to think creatively, so that what they produce is significant.

Davis, nice job. I look forward to working with you to bring Web 2.0 to our school. I can’t wait to hear your ideas. Feel free at any time to let me know about things you think we could do in my classroom….we’ll be the “guinnea pigs” any day!

Hi Deb,
I’m not quite a month in replying to your comment. Actually, I thought that I had and upon looking over my blogs, realized that I had not. I look forward to hearing your ideas, as well. I’m certain we’ll come up with some fun stuff for your “guinea pigs.” I’m investigating Flickr and finding it has some great possibilities. Let’s be sure to talk to Charlotte about it.
