(smile, HA!) Nice work! I love to drop by and watch the kids marvel in the world they are just beginning to realize is blossoming around them. Through knowledge of the here and now, the student will grow! Jeff,

Nice work! I love to drop by and watch the kids marvel in the world they are just beginning to realize is blossoming around them. Through knowledge of the here and now, the student will grow!

I really want to convince a couple of teachers to help set up their students with RSS next fall. I face two major problems. One, as high school teachers, these guys are so focused on their "curriculum" that it's a little bit of a tough sell to convince them to take time for something like RSS that doesn't appear to be directly related (I know, I know, but I'm working on it). But second, and where I hope maybe you can help, is with providing a base set of good RSS feeds for students. Could you share some of the feeds you've "seeded" students with? Ultimately, I'd like to develop sets of "starter" rss feeds by subject area for my teachers, so that they still feel it's directly relevant to their curriculum to get them started. But I haven't found the time or energy yet to do this, so I'm looking for shortcuts like some kind soul who's already done some of the legwork already . . . Also, any tips you'd like to share about students adding their own feeds? Any places you specifically tell them to look? Any "instructions" you give them? Or are you just turning them loose once they get the hang of it? One of the (many) thinks I’ve failed to accomplish in my school so far is getting folks excited about RSS.

I've been experimenting with that during some trainings I've setup for educators over here in Portland and it seems rather promising (see http://edtechservices.com/blog/netvibes) Jeff-
