This was a challenging area of learning for me. I get the concept. It’s a lot like the record feature on U-Verse TV. It is a way to subscribe to publications and blogs without having to search each time. This works like the “reader” feature in a way because you set aside often-visited sites for easy access.
I do see the benefits of this, as students will be able to subscribe to classmates’ blogs for collaboration and to news resources used for class assignments. Having access to library resources this way is also very convenient. It cuts through the media barrage to the meat of the information, which is a time saver. I also see how a teacher could use this to locate reliable sites, then make them available for research resources. That ensures that students will use reliable sources and not just glom onto the first thing they find.
