<p>Have you used a RSS Reader before? I use Google Reader. With a RSS Reader you list all your favorite blogs and the newest post will show. This way you can just check your RSS Reader instead of going to all of the different sites. It has a search engine and folders too so you can only look at the blogs that you need at a particular time. It is a major time saver. :>)</p>

I just started a tech integration blog I would like people to check out. I teach JH science and use an Activboard so it might lean that direction from time to time. <a href="http://technologyruminations.blogspot.com/">learning.21st<br />

Again, thank you all for your input. This is really new to me, so I am just enjoying the conversation and reading along. My hope is that by September, I will have some resources and or connections for my collegues and students. It is amazing to me how far behind I feel at this point, and I do not like being behind, so I am on a mission to catch up my knowledge.

Interesting narrowing it to three!<br />

I agree that beginning bloggers may have more interest if reading blogs in their own subject area, but I also think it's good to have one "outside the box" technology type blog as well, just to provoke some thinking about how to incorporate these strategies.<br />
<br />
I like <a href="http://www.weblogg-ed.com">Weblogg-ed.com</a> Will Richardson's blog for the conversations that happen there.<br />

And for some thinking about how to make school less "schooly" I think that Clay Burell's <a href="http://www.beyond-school.org">Beyond School</a> is essential reading.

Hello, I am new to this discussion board/blgging game, but am so interested in what it will bring to my classroom and how I can show teachers how to integrate it into the classroom. So thanks for posting your recommended blogs, I am certainly going to check them out.

I blogged <a href="http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/lbilak/2008/02/10/whos-in-your-five/">here</a> on the importance of a small number of regular reads. I was feeling the same kind of bewilderment-with only a few hours to spare for this activity a week-which ones do you keep on the short list? I know I could add more-or rotate the reading to spread the wealth around. I have read many of the 'mentioned' ones. I need something that speaks to me about the reality of my daily work. That is my…

Tom,<br />

Not a downer at all. I agree that for many, the idea of reading someone else's blogs online is still very foreign. I started with adoption blogs while in the process of adopting myself, and that got me hooked and made it easier to make the transition to ed. tech and library blogs.<br />
<br />

<br />
My own niche is with teachers who are just starting out, and I find that the idea blogs are great for that. The big picture blogs can easily be above people's head, and my conversations with newbies have let me know that they are looking for concrete ways to integrate technology and to connect with other teachers. In a nutshell, stop telling me about the philosophy and tell me exactly where to start. And even more importantly, give me the steps on how to do it at my level.<br />
<br />
I started my own <a href="http://techlibraryclassroom.blogspot.com">TLC blog</a> for Tech/Library/Classroom ideas especially for that reason, and I still love coming across blogs that have great ideas to implement.<br />
<br />
Let's consider "individual blogging plans" the differentiation for teachers of the 21st century. :)<br />

Appreciate your thoughts...
