Things have been pretty busy, here in the cloud for the last few days, so I didn’t get to do my fifth post on the right day. Here it goes now:<\/p>\n

As for my own blogs, there is nothing really to show for moment that is either impressive or content-appropriate. I have my school site, a blog I started for my class (dormant at the moment), a blog I started for some pilot teachers in L. Arts (also dormant right now), my old personal blog (frozen in time), and my current site (a beer blog).<\/p>\n

As for blogs I currently use or check that are education-related, here are three:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/wsbtechnology.blogspot.com\/<\/a>
\nThis is maintained by someone in one of our province’s three school districts. She’s not in my district, but she has a blog I think is valuable.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/davecormier.com\/edblog\/<\/a>
\nThis is an education-related blog maintained by a local fellow. I rarely check it, but… every now and then…\u00a0 may search it for something.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/edtechtalk.com\/<\/a>
\nRelated to the last link is this one, EdTechTalk. It’s a “collaborative open webcasting community”. I check it out or listen\/participate every now and then, when I have time (OK, not that often).<\/p>\n
