I got an e-mail from a teacher yesterday asking for some tips on where to find appropriate RSS feeds for K-12 teachers to use in their classes, and he said he’d had little luck finding a site that collated them all together. I hadn’t really poked around very much on this, but I think between the feeds from Moreover, (which actually has a feed on “firearms industry news“), coupled with the even more refined Moreover feeds you can find at Syndic8, and those listed at Weblogs compendium, there’s certainly enough to get started. But even in these three there are a lot of newspaper feeds that aren’t listed. My big question is whether or not there’s an “Ultimate Feed List” that’s collecting all of these into one place…

Just a bit of an update on the Website project. It’s still a slow go, and I’ve pretty much taken over responsibility for the content that is posted until we get a better handle on the type of work flow we’re talking about. Right now, with about a dozen sites up for business, the flow is pretty light, maybe a post a day (not including the daily announcement type stuff.) And to be honest, I have a feeling in the end when we get all 50-60 sites up, it probably won’t be any more than five or six a day. I’d love it to be more, (so I can crank up the RSS end of things,) but as I said, it’s taking a while for people to get used to it. On a positive note, I have had more and more people nibbling. And I think inevitably we’ll get a pretty good participation rate. But in reality, these baby steps are letting me work all of the kinks out and get everything clear in terms of templates, access, etc. I’m still loving the design, as are most others, and I’ve created the Communications Dept. site as a model for other department supervisors to look at. That’s the next big task, the creation and conversion of all of the academic content. We’ll see what happens after that.
