Question 1: 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 have just started following blogs, so I am still finding ones that I like. My current favorites are Fahrenheit 451: Freedom to Read (http://pelhamlibrary.blogspot.com/), and a Librarian's Guide to Etiquette (http://libetiquette.blogspot.com/). Fahrenheit 451 always has interesting articles on challenged books, and the Guide to Etiquette is just silly library fun.
Last semester I did a project on a school library going Dewey-free, and reviewed a blog that detailed the transition for a public loibrary in Chicago area (http://deweyfree.com/). They had a specific target audience and scope, and when the project was done, they knew to wind down the blog. They included lots of pictures and kept the entries short. All of these facotes served the blog well.
I have heard that Kathy Schrock's blog is very good, and the article also mentioned it, so I will be checking that out! I have mostly been following classmates as well as favorite authors, so I am very open to suggestions!
