After writing my book, I was so focused because of ISTE’s suggestion, to aim the book at a particular reader/market, that I never once again thought about the super-advanced user/educator.
Even with RSS, was it possible to suffer from too much information coming out you, full, head on, in an aggregator?
I suspect if it’s student work, no. But if it’s news and blogs and podcasts and more of the above, then… maybe so. This blog post gives some sage advice.
- Make two “buckets” (i.e., what I call groups in the book)
- One bucket is for “must read,” the other is for “interesting fluff.”
Casually read the fluff like your significant other’s magazines when left in the bathroom; focus more attention on the first group. Not bad advice, at all.
