So how many librarian blogs can there really be? I know there are at least 13 others, because there are 13 other people in the class for which I created this blog. Well, as it turns out, there are quite a lot. And some of them are really quite good.
When I first went about creating this blog, the first URL I tried was abbythelibrarian.com. I was sad to see it was already taken, but it forced be to be more creative, and I came up with a fun rhyme! Anyway, I was researching the best librarian blogs, and Abby the Librarian came up. Of course, I clicked on the link (librarians named Abby are my favorite kind of people) and the blog is actually really great! She is a librarian in Indiana, and she has a lot of really cool ideas. One of her ideas is called Reading Wildly. All of the staff at her library reads a different book from the month's specified genre, and they report on what they read. That way, all of the librarians get a much wider range of books from which to make recommendations to patrons!
Another blog that isn't library-related per se, but is educational in nature, is thenerdyteacher.com. I have been following this blog for a while, and I really enjoy it! It is run by a high school English teacher, with a strong emphasis on how to incorporate instructional technology in the classroom. This guy has so many ideas! Check out the experiment he did in his classroom with Evernote.
Do you have any librarian/educator blogs that you love? Share them in the comments!
