{In Mary Ann Bell’s “Celebrating Communicating: Blogging Redux”, she itemizes people’s favorite blogs and why they follow them. What are some of your favorite teacher, librarian or educational technology blogs and why do you follow them?}
I prefer educational technology blogs that are full of links and reviews of actual web 2.0 applications. I don't have time for the "big ideas" blogs. Perhaps when I'm finished grad school and I'm not engaging in these discussions anyway; but not now.
I like: http://www.freetech4teachers.com/ -- he posts cool applications that could be used to introduce a topic in the classroom or could be a value-added feature in a lesson using a smartboard.
I also have: http://ozgekaraoglu.edublogs.org/ in my Google Reader. It's full of annotated links for internet-based applications.
I love the snarky Librarian's Guide to Ettiquette blog. It's not necessarily edifying, but the tongue-in-cheek 'advice' to librarians makes me chuckle with its loving jabs at the profession. http://libetiquette.blogspot.com/
I think I will check out ozgekaraoglu.edublogs
ReplyDeletelibetiquette. I am looking for worthwhile blogs to read. There seems to be such a glut of blogs out there, it's nice to have a reader to filter through them. Thanks!
You follow some very interesting blogs that I have not yet seen. Good finds. I really like the freetech4teachers. This provides some very useful tips on how to incorporate technology into lessons and different tools to try and keep things interesting. These are great, thank you!
