I have played around a little with Google Reader but found myself being sucked into a time consuming past time with so many family members and friends blogging, so I dropped it all together. But now that I am trying it again in a professional sense, I can see what a great tool it is so as to be informed of new ideas, books, trends, technology, etc... that are critical to the job of a librarian.
The two blogs I added to my reader are Kiss the Book and Free Technology for Teachers. We all now know about Cindy Mitchell and her blog with book reviews, but I wanted to add it after going to UELMA and participating in her class. It was great and I can see it being a wonderful aid to librarians who are trying to decide on book purchases. We can't possibly read every book so this is a great detailed look at many many YA and MG books. The Free Technology blog caught my eye because we are always looking for new and innovative ways to present ideas to our students. On the first page, the author introduces a way to take an interior tour of the White House using Google maps! How cool is that?!? So I am looking forward to keeping up with these blogs and many more.
