There are a few blogs that I follow on a regular basis, but I can’t say that I’m as faithful as I used to be. I really haven’t even had the time to write on my own blog, but I do like that there is a forum where people can share ideas on a particular subject and get feedback on their own theories, creations, and ideas.
My two favorite are: Under the Sycamore Tree by Macrina Wiederkehr (http://macrina-underthesycamoretree.blogspot.com/) and 2¢ Worth by David Warlick (http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/?m=201109). Under the Sycamore Tree is a spiritual blog kept by my favorite spiritual writer, and since I know her on more of a personal level, I do love to see what divine and mystical wisdom she has to offer for the day. I also enjoy reading the comments others have written—most are just quips of support and encouragement but every once in a while there is a challenging thought that causes me to pause and think deeper about something. Most of Macrina’s writing makes me do that anyhow.
When I began teaching technology a few years back, I came across the blog 2¢ Worth. I love this blog! First of all, it is created by an educator, and secondly it has been a great resource for me. There is a wealth of information ranging for practical teaching methods to the newest tech gadget—it’s worth a look!
All-in-all I like to know about the newest trends via tech communication but I’m really not “into” a lot that is out there. I still mostly use email for my preferred method of communication. I don’t know if it’s because that is what is still used by most of the people I communicate with on a daily basis, but to me it serves my purpose. I’m a huge fan of the phrase: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
