This document discusses blogging, RSS feeds, and the read/write web. It defines blogs as easy-to-use websites that allow quick posting of thoughts and interactions without HTML. RSS feeds are used to syndicate short descriptions and links to full web content updates. The read/write web refers to actively contributing and having a voice online rather than just consuming information. Examples of educational uses of blogs include fostering discussions, sharing assignments, and celebrating student work. RSS feeds allow subscribing to blogs and tracking their updates.

A way of distributing news and information.
