Thing #9-Library Related Blogs and News Feeds

There was so much to look at. I probably shouldn't have started with Edublogs, because looking through blogs from the best of the best made me realize how far I have yet to come. Later on I will better appreciate the blog itself for the value it will have in and of itself. At the same time I am trying to accept responsibility for my own learning and to have more confidence. (Those habits really can come in handy.)
Before I began this journey of discovery into the 23 Things, my background and knowledge base was limited and I am slowing picking up lingo and the processes involved. I will feel better when I can slow down a bit. I felt this same way when beginning my Activboard training last year. I did really enjoy the Quotes of the Day I found.
The most confusing part for me has been taking these new blogs and sites and saving them to my Google Reader. I clicked on the icon, but I seem to be missing a step and will continue to experiment.

Copy the url (address) of the blog you want to follow and put it the box on your reader page...it is in the green band and says Add Subscription ...be sure and click the add button.

Sarah-You are fast! You just got started and you have got this stuff down! Way to go. Thing 8 and 9 overwhelmed me too. I feel like it is great for people who sit at their computer all day, but I only get on mine about 15-20 minutes a day at most...so condensed or not, I don't have time to read it!!!
