Blog Following (PLN Assignment)

This is the first blog I'm following for this assignment:
http://sdsuchildlit.blogspot.com/2010/09/btwsdsu-seeks-asst-prof-in-am-lit-20c.html
"Information Technology: All About Technology"

I chose this blog because it has the latest and greatest news on technology. It has a lot of cool stuff! I like cool stuff, what can I say? I believe that some of it will be useful in a classroom setting, if not for acquiring said technology physically in the classroom, providing information for classroom discussion.

This is the second:
"SDSU Children's Literature: Dept. of English and Comparative Literature, San Diego..."

I chose this blog because I think it is a good and interesting example of a classroom-type blog. The articles about literature are very interesting, and contemporary. I'm taking Eng 420 right now, too, so as a bonus, I think it'll help me think of/inform me of ideas about the subjectmatter of young adult literature.

This is the third:
"Fictionista Workshop"

I chose this blog because it has really interesting articles about literature, and lots of interesting sides to explore! I love English literature. That is all.

This is the fourth:
"AZ Articles: A to Z Articles World"

This blog has a lot of posts about new technologies, but also reviews about literature, and secondary teaching. It is very interesting!

This is the fifth:
"Miss Brown's English Language Arts"

This blog is a young teacher's class blog. If I use a blog for my class, I could get ideas from this blog about what works/doesn't work/is cool!

Here's the screenshot of my google reader:


Twitter!

These are 3 English teachers I've decided to follow on twitter... they're all interested in technology integration, and I want to know what they have to say!

I, Adelheid!

You may have noticed that I customized this blog. Closer examination may reveal important things about the author, so here's a post about what themes/widgets/etc I chose:

The bookshelves. So postmodern, so ....me.
The caterpillar, because I'm a bookworm... digitized!
The poll about authors... because I burn with a desire to know.
Bloglist, because it's supposed to be there!
...if only there were more blogs to put there...

My profile is ...so informative... too.
