Thing 9- Useful Library Blogs

The following "library" blogs are ones that I have now saved on my reader.  They are:

Cool Cat Teacher (Vicki Davis).  While she is not a librarian officially, she offers great teaching and technology insights.
Watch.Connect.Read (Mr. Schu's site).  He is a librarian and on his site, he mostly has book trailers.
Joyce Valenza-Never Ending Search  She is a guru for librarians.
Nerdy Book Club-Donlyn Miller's site which is not specifically for libraries but is very useful for reading teachers and librarians both.

I have others saved as well that are great for teaching ideas but these are the top ones I think.  Edublog award winners list and Google Blog search were my "go to" blog search tools.  These were the best for me and the easiest to work within.

I read about the standard feed icon and I am certainly glad that this is now the norm.  How confusing for everyone if you have to search around to find the RSS icon.  Easily recognizable icons are how we can maneuver rapidly through the internet noting ones such as Pinterest and Facebook.  Everyone knows those icons.
