Thing 11

Technorati is one of my favorite blog finding tools. It was easy to navigate and found only things relevant to my topics; however, it only has a few select topics to view Topix is the most confusing to me because of all of the ads, but it allows you to search ANY topic. Google Blogs is another helpful blog finder. I am already familiar with Google searching, so it came pretty natural to me. Another way I found blogs I’m interested in is looking at the blogs that I find other blog makers following. So, when I go to a blog I enjoy, I look at the blogs they read often in order to find more.

One cool blog I found was Geekologie. It is a blog devoted to new and upcoming technology. It gives tutorials and has reviews for tons of technology. I believe it is critical to keep up with advances in technology; this blog helps me tackle that goal.

Another helpful blog I found is Making Teachers Nerdy. It has a plethora of information for teachers. It gives links to other excellent blogs as well. It has tricks for commonly used programs such as Microsoft Word. It even has printables for teachers! This is one that all teachers should check out.
