Feedly.com is my
favorite content reader! I know there
might be fancier RSS readers out there, but Feedly.com is free and super simple
to use. I can organize my favorite blogs
and websites into easy to find folders, I can flag them to read later, and even
share them on social media or email.
It’s a great way to curate the best sources that are of interest to me
and keep up with their updates.
I love how Feedly
lets you see if the blogs or website are active or not, how many followers they
have, and how many articles they post per week/month. I was pleased with the results I found and
how user-friendly it is to follow or create content on my feed. I love it!
Other blogs I am excited
to follow:
1. https://vanmeterlibraryvoice.blogspot.com/ The Library Voice is a blog by a Teacher
Librarian who loves to advocate for librarianship, creativity, and technology. The blogger shares her expertise in
libraries, education, technology, and creativity, by connecting through social
media.
2. https://www.thedaringlibrarian.com/ The Daring Librarian is a blog by Gwyneth A.
Jones, a Future Ready Librarian and Ed Tech Leader. She shares technology tools used in her
library as well as their impact to literature in general. I really enjoyed the casual and less formal
approach of her blog, as well as all the innovative resources and tricks she
shares.
3. http://www.nikkidrobertson.com/: The Incredible True Adventures of an EdTech
Trailblazer is a blog written by Nikki. She
is a retired Librarian and Instructional Technology Facilitator. I truly appreciate the lessons and
experiments, including photographs, that she shares in her blog.
4. https://mediaspecialistsguide.blogspot.com/ A Media Specialist’s Guide to the Internet is
wonderful blog with thousands of infographics, articles, resources and
everything a library media specialist might need. I love the organization of the blog and the
fact that it feels like a one-stop shop.
5. https://librarianincuteshoes.blogspot.com/
Librarian in Cute Shoes is a blog written by an elementary librarian who just
happens to love children’s books and writes lots of reviews about them. I love this colorful and organized blog,
because the book reviews are neatly arranged and labeled, which makes them easy
to read. The reviews are wonderfully
written and provide ideas to implement technology with the books.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. MakerSpaces are fun, I'm sure you will find cool ideas to incorporate. I was happy to find her site, because of all the book reviews she has, but I also loved how her site is casual and provides a realistic view of a school library.
