My mind has been opened up to a whole new world. I use RSS all the time, but had no idea that is what it is called. The only time I have viewed blogs was out of curiosity or a friend sent me to theirs. I have never used them for research, student projects, news etc. I have found so many exciting sites/feeds: The Shifted Librarian, Librarian's Internet Index, About Literature Contemporary etc. etc. There are so many different blogs from famous people ranting about their show experiences, marketing ploys, networking etc. etc.
Some other blogs I have found that look really interesting: http://www.worthingtonlibraries.org/teen/blog/ this blog is sponsored by a library and is a really great way to get teens involved in the library,
http://khslibrary.motime.com/ A Daily Journal of Library Information for Students and Staff—to aide students and teachers in research, studies, and basic information,
http://librarywebchic.net/wordpress/ This site is meant to be a resources for librarians (and maybe others) who are interested in the application of web design and technologies in libraries.
This makes me think a lot--I am always telling my students that any Joe Blow can get on the internet and pretend to be an expert on a topic. I always encourage my students to use academic sources that are reliable. If I want to implement blogs, feed, chat rooms etc. how do I protect my students and myself?
