1.       1 Activity 1: Understand what a RSS feed is and why you would use it	10/11/13	I have some RSS feeds already from blogs I follow so this was not too new for me
2.     2 Activity 2: Introducing RSS Readers		Google Reader has closed down – I might investigate Feedly, but this also looks like it could become an addictive time waster – I think I might be better off just looking at blogs when I have time rather than being told about them and tempted to read them when I have other things I should be doing J
3.     3 Activity 3: Setting up RSS feeds on Feedly		I set up a Feedly account and added a couple of sites I like to follow – this looks pretty user friendly, a bit like Delicious once I worked it out!!
4.     4 Module Reflection Activity		This unit didn’t take me long to do as it made a lot of sense and was easy to complete the activities, being only one new site to set up. Onto module 9 – next time I have some spare time!!
