Google has always been my favorite search engine, so I chose to explore one of its extension sites. Remembering that Google is user friendly with multiple listings under each topic, I chose Google Blog Search to begin my exploration. Google’s counterpart proved to be as easy to navigate and I found a wide range of information. While using Google Blog Search I realized that as with all research the better you define your topic, the higher the quality of data provided. Google Blog Search produced a multitude of educational resources.
Next, I ventured onto Technorati Blog Search and was able to navigate around the site with almost the same as easy as Google Blog Search. This site provides several useful blogs of interest to me. Unfortunately, http://www.topix.net was not only more difficult to use, it had a limited amount of topics of interest to me. The most interesting blog I found was http://www.deepspacesparkle.com/blog/ because it has the best art related curricula for me. It is very easy to maneuver around the site as well.
I really enjoyed looking at the deepspacesparkle website and especially liked that it connected art to literature. This is a great way to collaborate with fellow teachers and extend a lesson to make it more meaningful. I am always looking for new resources and have bookmarked this one, great choice!
