Conquering the Internet Video
I search the Internet for useful stuff, so you don’t have to. This three part video series was produced by Palm Beach CAFE, a weekly show hosted by Lee Keller and Kim Cavanaugh. The show is created by the School District of Palm Beach County and provides an informal look at technology in education.
Many of our viewers are just starting out on the Internet and wanted to know some basics that will help them conquer the Internet. This series will get you started on understanding the Internet and making it work for you.
For more from Lee and Kim, you can watch part 2 and part 3 of this video series on YouTube. You can also help me out by letting me know in comments if you prefer videos embedded in the post (like part 1, above) or linked to their original source (like parts 2 and 3 on YouTube). If you can’t watch videos at all, please let me know that too.

RSS In Plain English
If you look over in the left column, towards the top, you’ll find the Subscriptions section. There you can request that the site notify you whenever we post new content. One of the technologies for doing this is called RSS (for Really Simple Syndication). When you think of syndication, it’s very likely that fond memories of Luverne and Shirley come to mind. Well, maybe not. On the Internet, it’s means something a little different. Here at Internet Newcomer, every post and all the comments are made available for other sites and applications to use. This content is distributed through a feed.
RSS is an incredibly useful technology that’s often not very well understood. Commoncraft has produced this video that does a great low-tech job of covering the basics in 3 1/2 minutes.
When you’re done watching, subscribe to our feed!
