My Experience with RSS Feeds

As a part of the ADED 1P32 class, I was assigned to set up a RSS feed in order to learn how they work. One of the first articles that my newly made RSS feed directed me to was an article about how RBC is donating $675,000 to Brock for their music programs. The Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts is getting $500,000 of it in order to turn the new facility into a world-class one, with the rest of the money going to the music at noon program already at Brock University. RBC is clearly showing their support for education, and especially for people pursuing careers in the arts. RBC is hoping that this gift will help keep arts education in Ontario and the Niagara region running for a long time.

Using a RSS feed is a very valuable tool for everyone because it allows you to sort all of the content that you would normally read into something a lot more organized. For whatever topic you like to learn about, there are a number of feeds worth subscribing too that would allow you not only to continue to learn what you did before, but also learn new things. If someone wants to become more up to date on the news outside of Canada and the U.S.A., they might want to subscribe to the New York Times - World feed, so that they get get news on the goings-on around the world. Overall, I believe RSS feeds to be a very valuable asset, that I will continue to use throughout my life.
