What is an RSS Feed?
Have you ever wondered what the little orange button that says "RSS" on a web site does? You've probably seen it hundreds of times now, though you may never have paid it special attention. It's usually nestled snugly in the bottom corner of a web page with other information about the site. If you ever dared click it, it might have tried to save a file to your computer, or it might have displayed a page of code that you couldn't make heads or tails of.
Did you know that those buttons could save you lots of time if they appear on a site you visit frequently? The orange XML buttons, and their companions, the orange RSS buttons, are just two of the ways that a web site can tell you that it employs RSS, or Real Simple Syndication. It's being used increasingly by newspapers, weblogs, and education web sites to help you get their information delivered right to you.
How RSS works
If you have the new version of Internet Explorer (IE 7) the News Feed Link above will take you to a button to subscribe to up-to-date changes on the Monroe County School News website.
Those of you using Sharepoint can subscribe to web sites that offer their content in RSS format. This content is known as a site's "feed." Then, each time the web site is updated, your sharepoint feed is updated. Instead of having to visit all your favorite websites to see if there's new information, you can let your RSS reader visit the feeds and bring you the results.
If you have an older version of IE or Netscape, Google has a simple reader service at www.google.com/reader - or there are other free readers you can access by doing a search..
The Podcast Feeds will take you to a series of district videos that can be clicked on (MP4 files) and played through Quicktime, Windows Media Player or a multimedia player on your computer.
If you have iTunes on a device or computer, you can click on Podcasts, and search for Monroe County School District videos using the keyword search KeysSchools. Then subscribe for future podcasts.
