Any Suggestions?
A colleague and I are "incubating" some ideas for a faculty workshop on
blogs and RSS feeds. The main obstacle is our "danged" content filter.
Of course, I can have the filter disabled for an afternoon for a staff
workshop. But - how frustrating would that be? Teachers would learn to
locate blogs and use Bloglines or something similar - only to discover
the next day that they cannot use it at school.
If you know of any online news aggregators that might not be blocked by
our filter (BESS) - please share the url with me. I do know that we
could download news aggregator software - but an online solution makes
it easier for teachers to access at school and at home.
Here are the web sites I am familiar with right now that allow rss
subscriptions. Some are blocked by our content filter (BESS) some are
not:
Google Reader
Bloglines
Suprglu
NetVibes.com
Please tell me about any you know of. Thanks so much for your help.
