In order to monitor updates in students’ blogs, we will have to use the “Rich Site Summary” or “Real Simple Syndication” (RSS) feeds.
RSS feeds are generated automatcally generated by blog engines and it saves users from having to repeatedly visit favorite websites to check for new content or be notified of updates via email.
In order to monitor multiple blogs, we would strongly recommend the use of Bloglines.com. A whole class of 40 or more can be monitored with this web-based tool.
A detailed user guide has been created and you can download it here.
