RSS can certainly be useful in one's personal life and professional life. In my daily life, I like to stay updated on topics that interest me. Using Google reader type of device makes that so much easier than searching the topics I follow individually.
I think as an educator, RSS would be especially helpful. A large part of the education world involves collaborating. When groups of educators, administrators, and parents want to collaborate on a certain topic or project, a device such as Google reader makes this very convenient.
In the classroom, a teacher and her students may wish to follow a certain event or subject that they are currently studying. It is much easier to do so when they simply have to wait for notifications than to search out the web.
RSS can create a strong relationship between a school and its community by keeping them both up to date and informed in a easier, more convenient fashion.
