The readings  I chose for this week are “ Information tools” by Beth Saxton and “ What is an RSS feed ?” by Coletta Whitehead. I found both of these readings exciting and informative. I have never heard of an RSS and it was nice learning about something new. People keep up with their favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and other social media tools by using the tool simple syndication. This allows website owners to update their websites with fresh content. An easy, standardized form of content distribution. RSS is for website creators to publish new content on their websites. This includes all things like weather forecasts, blogs, podcasts, and other forms of social communication. When a website publishes new content, RSS will send its subscribers updates and notifications. Coletta Whitehead’s was instructive because it explains to the reader where to find the RSS feed, what it does, and how it works. Whitehead also informs her readers what The RSS reader is. “ Think of an RSS reader like your email inbox. When you subscribe to the RSS feed for a website, the RSS reader displays content from that website. Use the RSS reader to view the content, or to go to the website. As you read each piece of new content, the RSS reader marks that content as read.” ( Whitehead 2021). Saxton discusses using wikis and blogs in addition to the RSS tool. Saxton was a librarian for five years and has a lot of experience with teenagers. Saxton also serves on YALSA teen tech week and teen read week committees. Saxton informs readers How to use these tools and gives different URL’s where you find other authors’ RSS, blogs, and wiki. I liked the recommended links that she put in her article because I have never seen or heard of an RSS. I looked at recommended links for the RSS and went to the feed for Movieweb and amazon. These are all different types of tools where you can get notifications for the author’s new content and it has it all organized for you. These are great ways for authors and readers to stay in contact and follow each other’s information.

    Hi, Juan! Anything that consists of podcasts, blogs, and things like that, I'm all about. Though I didn't read the article, you described it perfectly, and I think it's neat that everyone's blog is about a different link or topic. My article also had a few links on it that brought you to more information about the article. Great blog post!

    I myself did not know either that THAT'S what an RSS is. I wrote in my post that we often use the terms interchangeably. Boy, were we wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Saxton's article regarding RSS, blogs and wikis. I found it to be very informative.

Time Diary

     TikTok was the tool I utilized the most over the last four days. I use this tool the most throughout the day. Sometimes I do not have much to do at work, and my employer doesn't mind if we use our phones. For the past four days, I spent at least one hour on TikTok and the second on YouTube. Because I always have my phone with me and because I do my homework on my computer, I don't use it for social media I use my phone as my favorite platform. I frequently watch videos on YouTube and TikTok at night. After finishing my homework, I normally spend an hour or so watching YouTube before going to bed. I use TikTok to communicate with two of my pals and my girlfriend a lot. Normally, we send each other humorous or informative movies. To my buddies, I frequently send soccer and funny videos. But my girlfriend and I regularly exchange films, and she reciprocates by sending me numerous videos. Another popular program I use is youtube. I listen to a lot of ...
