Is there something already created to open an rss file, parse it, and
include() the useful stuff into an html file?
Not all my students have an rss reader.

RSS is just XML. Use SimpleXML to map it to a PHP object and just print
out whatever you want from it directly.
eg.
<?php
$rss = simplexml_load_file('http://jtjohnston.ca/jtjohnston.rss');
$channel = $rss->channel;
echo <<<EOB
<img src="{$channel->image->url}" style="float: right;"/>
<h1>{$channel->title}</h1>
<h2>{$channel->description}</h2>
EOB;
foreach($channel->item as $item) {
echo <<<EOB
<h3><a href="{$item->link}">{$item->title}</a> ({$item->pubDate})</h3>
{$item->description}
<br clear="left" />
<hr />
EOB;
}
?>
Very ugly HTML markup there, of course, but add a bit of CSS and make it
prettier.
