Notas do Editor
- I use Google Reader to teach this workshop because I already use it for my own RSS feed. I’ve found it to be fairly user-friendly, customizable, and it has some social features which could be beneficial for professional information sharing and pedagogical purposes alike. However, there are many other RSS readers if you want to explore non-google alternatives. [Insert third-party disclaimer: CITES does not support GR; use common sense regarding privacy issues, as you would with any other form of social media.] The Ultimate RSS Toolbox offers an extensive list of readers at http://mashable.com/2007/06/11/rss-toolbox/
- For sites that don’t offer feeds, copy & paste the URL into Page2RSS http://page2rss.com/ then plug the RSS-friendly URL into Google Reader.
- How to turn off the Social feature in GR: Try this if you never want to “follow” people or get feeds of the blog posts they share. To turn off Shared Items, type the following javascript command into your browser address bar and hit Enter, then reload the page:javascript:antisocial('true') This operates as a cookie, so the social features will turn on again if you delete your cookies or use another browser.
- There is a LOT of text here! I’m adding these notes to the slides more for future reference on the ATS blog than for people to look at during the workshop.
