In the first
half of the semester, we focused on building the habits and skills
necessary for successful interactive webpublishing.  We’re now
moving into Phase 2 of our course, where we will attempt to create our
own personal learning communities that expand beyond the confines of
our Center and into the greater Blogosphere.

Our goals for Week 9:

• Reflect upon and discuss results of midterm self, peer, and tutor evaluations
• Brainstorm ways of making the most of RSS and aggregation toward meeting our learning needs
• Discuss strategies and introduce tools for finding RSS feeds of relevance to our studies

Our resources and links for Week 9:

• Technorati - search and notification service for the World Live Web
• Feedster - an RSS search engine
• Waypath - weblog post analysis

Our tasks for Week 9:

• Find and subscribe to at least 10 new RSS feeds from outside
  the Center that are relevant to our interests and/or that are related
  to our academic studies.
• Notify readers on our weblogs about some or all of new feeds to which we’ve subscribed.
• Make
  at least one attempt to reference a posting from one of our new feeds
  on our weblogs.  In what way does it relate to our
  learning at the Center?
