Let's share links to our blogs!
I recently came across a few long-standing blogs that never crossed my path during my Google searches, and I was thinking that a Classroom 2.0 discussion about blog-sharing might be helpful, since we are members of "the social network for educators using collaborative technologies".
If you have a blog you'd like to share, either your own, or one that you'd recommend, post a reply with a link to the blog, the author's name, the focus of the blog, and perhaps a few words about why you find it interesting or useful.
Update: Follow me on Twitter

Here are my blogs:
TechPsych
Interactive Multimedia Technology
I have another blog that I use to post my reflections about what I'm learning in my mid-life journey as a computer/tech student:
The World Is My Interactive Interface

The World Is My Interactive Interface
Update 6/15/10
It has been a very busy school year! The exciting news is that one of my schools has a multi-touch SMARTTable, and every classroom has an interactive whiteboard. The teachers worked very hard to ramp up their IWB skills and I'm amazed at how quickly this interactive technology was adopted. Of course, interactive applications and websites are pretty awesome on a huge screen or display! The best part is that this technology has opened up the minds of a good number of students with severe autism characteristics.
In April, I participated in a workshop at ACM's 2010 CHI conference. The topic of the workshop focused on the next generation of human-computer interaction and education.
I also joined the SparkOn group, "a social platform for people that are sparked (inspired) by creative and emergent technologies".

I really found this thread to be useful, too. I've been impressed with the blogs I've come to know through this forum.
Here is one I just found:

I am a private high school computer teacher but I blog about all thing related to educational technology at my blog at http://www.edtechvision.org .
My goal: to go to each of your blogs (at least once) and write a comment or two over the course of the next few months. Maybe I'll consider adding your RSS to my Bloglines account.
Here is how I use my Bloglines account. I create folders for all of the ed tech blogs I read. Here are my folders: personal, ed tech bloggers, under consideration and last chance. When I stumble across a blog I might be interested in I add the feed in the under consideration folder. When I find that I enjoy the blog and read it often it moved up in rank to the ed tech bloggers folder while some of those are demoted to last chance before I decide to do away with the feed.

Colette,
I visited your blog and I'll be visiting it again soon!
Thanks for sharing how you organize the blogs you read. I've been trying to comment on other people's blog posts that I find useful or interesting, but my approach hasn't been very systematic.
I've organized my blog subscriptions in tabs on my iGoogle home page. I have one tab for edublogs, and another for blogs that are about usability, human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and so forth.

Colette,
I like your idea of different folders for the tech blogs. I might do the same as my reader is over 150(with about 10 folders).
Question: Did you get, or do you need, permission of the students before they are posted on the internet?
I think a good idea would be to have all the blog here in some form of list. Not that I have time to do it, just an idea.

I have a very similar blog as well. After spending 20 years in the elementary classroom, I'm not 4 years into a district administrator tech-curriculum job and work very hard every day to help teachers and others understand the value of technology/curriculum integration. My blog reflects on that a little with mostly humor. In addition, my blog is used to build and support a network of Web 2.0 teachers (like us) who are constantly finding new ways to bring others into these conversations. I hope you'll check out my blog, leave a comment with a link to your blog. This particular post, invites you to share your del.icio.us bookmarks in a network of Web 2.0 teachers for all to share. It's very cool.

Lee,
I loved your blog and found some great ideas. I have a Twitter account, but I haven't done anything with it yet. I'm going to read some more of your blogs about Twitter and then get started.

Reading about my colleagues' tips on ways to use and organize the blogs we read has been very helpful. Currently, I organize my rss feeds on Pageflakes. Since I frequently share other people's ideas, I have to keep them organized, so I can quickly access citation information. It is very important to respect the ownership of other people's ideas and work. I use the Share-Alike copyright and get my widgets from Creative Commons. Anyone, who cites me as their source, can copy or whatever....as long as it is not SOLD.
My educational blog is n2teaching Hearts and Minds. My focus for this blog is mostly DIY: how, where, when and why real teachers can easily implement technology in their classroom. I also focus on the underlying philosophies, techniques and research.

I think this forum will help those who are newer to blogging get some recognition.
I'm hoping that people outside of education will also take notice. Classroom 2.0 members are smart and talented! I am sure that our efforts will go a long way to help others understand what education and education community- building is all about.

I had thought about adding all of the links that were replied back, but then no one will see the bottom of my blog page, not there it's something magnificent there, but...I'll just put up a link to this post instead.
Oh yeah, and visit the Tech Fridge, where all of the "coolest" tech ideas are shared! Yep, thought of it myself!
