What a time saver this is! The obvious way learners can use this technology is using it as a library for information they need for their assignments etc.
The concern would be students not being able to accept some material, according to Aldred (2009), because the school may deem it unacceptable. To solve this problem, the teacher would have to be 'gate keeper', keeping watch on what material is being subscribed to. In an unfortunate case, the teacher would be the one to subscribe to sites for the learners. Aldred (2009) can see "...draconian policies of blocking almost all Websites and virtually all the available Web 2.0 tools means that...learning experiences are much poorer than those...experienced outside of school".
