RSS Feeds are incredibly useful. I use them all the time for my invitation business. I follow wedding blogs, paper blogs, other designer blogs, all on RSS Feeds. I find that it is easier to read multiple blogs at once without having to deal with all the ads, colors, images on their blogs. It is more a time efficiency thing for me than anything. For teaching I feel that if my students had their own blogs, then I would definitely follow their RSS feeds. If I had a classroom blog, I would have the students follow the feed for updated information. I think it is a great tool that can be used efficiently for getting information to parents/students the fastest.
I follow education news feeds in my RSS feeds along with instruction and other feeds. A great resource is http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/feeds/index.html that my master teacher alerted me to. She has a classroom website that the students write reviews on the classroom blog. She recommends students to follow the RSS feed from the classroom website.
