Thing 4...

I’m hooked. I can definitely see the value of this timesaver in an academic setting. What a great way to stay current with favorite sites without wasting time scrolling through bookmarks! In the library (or from any computer), students can log in to news reader accounts set up by teachers and access the content suggested by the teacher. Also, in the classroom application, without searching for each student, teachers can readily view the work of students who have completed assignments.

As a media specialist, I can use the newsreader to notify me about the latest changes in technology and books. And personally, with ease, I can stay current on music and entertainment opportunities.

The easiest tools were those with a feed icon/button or the RSS labels; copying the feed address and pasting it into an RSS news reader was simple.
