My students remain interested in exploring NewsCred and have some questions for you as well. They have expressed interest in perhaps having you participate in a Skype call during one of our class sessions. Let us know if this is something you'd be interested in.

Sometimes we jump out of the plane and hope that the chute not only opens, but we find a fairly decent place to land...often guided only by hope and a bit of intuition. It is confirming to hear your support and interest...and you know I'm always ready to share the success and failures. Thanks for reading!

Moreover, I'm thrilled that NewsCred was viewed favorably by your students - we have a lot of challenges ahead, but I think your student's thinking reflects the compelling demand for a credibility filtered news source. Would love to touch base and see if we can tap into your students for a bit more detailed surveying about their perceptions on news credibility and NewsCred as a product. I'll get in touch!

I have yet to go into great detail about RSS feeds with our Adult Learning students, mostly because the comfort level in blog writing is still emerging and evolving. Those further along are interested in RSS (and I have resources posted) but those struggling to figure out why we're doing this are not quite ready for "yet another" web tool to master:-) Thanks for providing your insights (and your class's) on these four aggregators. When the time is right, I'd like to follow your lead on introducing this to our learners, as well. Very sound pedagogy. Terry Hi, Jeff,
