Choose 2 blogs and explain why

Much of what Bill Ferriter said in his article "Taking the Digital Plunge" resonated with me so I added his blog "The Tempered Radical" to my list. I was stunned to see that Bill actually read and posted to my blog! The world just got smaller!

My background and training is engineering and I work with students in science so I checked out the science blogs. Dale Basler's blog "dalebasler education.collaboration.design.technology" includes concise posts with practical tools and suggestions. Love it!

Each year I attend the ACTEM conference to expand my horizons. The keynotes speakers help me do that so I added:

• "2 Cents Worth" by David Warlick
• "21st Century Learning" by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
• "Weblogg-ed Learning with the Read Write Web by Will Richardson
• "Flick School - Learn Everything Mulitmedia" by Marco Torres

Our principal is focusing on Professional Learning Communities so I also added:

• "AllThingsPLC" ... a blog for educators involved in Professional Learning Communities

• "Zen Habits" by Leo Babauta
• "mnmlist.com" by Leo Babauta
