RSS<br />
Rich Site Summary (or Really Simple Syndication), a format for aggregat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Web</strong> content <strong>in</strong> one place.<br />
Say you're a social studies teacher and you've found 20 or 30 <strong>Web</strong>logs and media sites consistently<br />
publish<strong>in</strong>g relevant <strong>in</strong>formation. F<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> time to visit those sites on a regular basis would be nearly<br />
impossible. A type <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware called an aggregator or feed collector checks <strong>the</strong> feeds you subscribe to,<br />
usually every hour, and collects all <strong>the</strong> new content from those sites and sends it to your desktop.<br />
In o<strong>the</strong>r words, you check one site <strong>in</strong>stead <strong>of</strong> 30. (See "The ABCs <strong>of</strong> RSS," on www.techlearn<strong>in</strong>g.com)<br />
