For no better reason than to share a look at what it out there is the way of blogs about education and education technology and perhaps give some of these blogs some general "link love" I decided to share the list of blogs in my RSS reader (I use RSS Bandit) under the Education category. Some are blogs by teachers; some are from consultants or organizations. Some of the teachers teach computer science while other teachers teach other things but use technology. Some are focused on educational politics - some are on the right and others to the left. I like to read both sides. Some avoid politics completely. The people in my group who blog on education are listed elsewhere on this blog site so I left them off this list. One of these days I will take the time to sort them out and categorize these and other blogs I follow but today is not that day. Sorry about that.
Now to be honest I don't read every single post on every single blog. Some of them are rarely updated for example. There are some I skim the titles of and read if something looks interesting. I could not possibly even do that much if I didn't use an RSS reader. It would take far too long to visit each web site on a regular basis. RSS Bandit lets me look to see if anything is new, judge quickly if I have or want to make the time to read what has been posted.
Of course you don't need to have many blogs to follow to get value from an RSS Reader. Even if you only follow a couple or even just one (if only one I hope it's this one) you will save time by using an RSS Reader over visiting each web site directly. You can learn more about RSS readers (also called aggregators) on Wikipedia. [Edit: Another good article may be found here.]
Here in no particular order is my list:
