Setting up an RSS feeder was extremely painless, and something I'm sure I will use. I'm feeling more and more in the loop with techonology. I could use this in my personal/family life as well. As far as meeting student standards - It definitley meets the standard for using technology effectively and productively. I have added a link on the left hand column of the blog of one of the websites I can now follow easily (Free Technology for teachers). Awesome!
