I'm still not entirely sure what RSS means/does, but I understand how Google Reader works. It's a great program for subscribing to a range of sites and seeing the updates in one format without having to view multiple web pages. It's a good one stop shop for updates and news that appears on all your favourite websites. The only problem I discovered is that if a site you like doesn't have subscriptions then you still have to visit their website for updates. Previously I would have used the gathering of this information via email updates, but this was very limited.
I can see the value of Google Reader for gathering current data from a range of website. This may be helpful for research, keeping up with current affairs, and creating resources students could subscribe to. I'm sure there are a great number of educational and teacher resources that could be subscribed to.
