When it comes to searching for a blog I want
to consider what I want to read. Blogs are not something you want a whole bunch
of tying up your RSS feed if you aren't truly interested in reading it. I think
in the beginning search for them was hard, although after a while I got the
hang of changing up my key terms and began getting results that I wanted. I
began to find more than plenty to read. I just don't like weeding through all
of them. I kept thinking of the blog by Cool Cat Teacher I read on how to
choose a blog. I found what she had to say very helpful in minding what I
choose to follow. I even asked fellow teachers who and what they are reading
these days. A penny for your thoughts on favorites?
I liked using Google (like you didn't see that coming) to search for the blogs. I also liked using Technorati. I did not like Topix.net! It was hard to search for things and I kept getting these pop up ads. After the 3rd time I stopped using it altogether.
Some blogs I choose to follow are EducationWeek, Inside Pre-K, and The Innovative Educator. Right now I am choosing blogs
that mainly are organization driven and news worthy. I believe as I read and
follow that other blogs with extra curricula topics will come along.
