Blogging Gold
As I’ve begun spending more time in the “blogosphere” as I’ve called it here, I’ve come across an increasing number of wonderful, but not as well-know sites as those at the “Blogosphere Heavyweights” Blogroll list to the right.
By all means keep track of Doug and Joyce and Will - but don’t miss these wonderful, thought-provoking blogs on Libraries, Information Literacy & 21st Century Literacy in your quest to become (or stay) “21st Century Literate” . The “heavyweights” are who everyone quotes, but do yourself a favor and have a look at some of these too.
Library 2.0 An Academic’s perspective - by Laura B. Cohen, Support Librarian, University at Albany, SUNY, who has sadly recently retired. Fortunately, her blog is slated to stay up for a year or so and we can still learn from her insights into the world we’re facing.
Don’t miss either Classroom Tech Tips - by Donna DesRoches
or “Dunstanology” by Jane L. Hyde at the St. Dunstan Libraray at The Library of Christ School, an Episcopal school for boys,boarding and day, in the western North Carolina mountains near Asheville. Jane’s Feb. 25th posting “The Only Thing Constant is…” neatly summarizes the time conundrums we teacher-librarians face today. Well worth a visit.
More as I have them…
