Share Your Favorite RSS Feeds in Teaching

Are you a fan of RSS Feeds? Have you found a number of favorites you are tracking? Ah, but now you want your students to review a select set as part of their regular class readings.

There is an easy way to share selected RSS feeds with others. Pageflakes is a service that allows you to collect functional tools (flakes) and RSS feeds into a single web page. Here is an example that collects example RSS feeds in medicine and dentistry.
