Well I completely missed Blog Day, until my newest blogging friend (Christy) linked me on to her Blog Day roll.
I’m making a note though to make sure that I participate fully next year in this. Catching up after a long weekend is making my head spin.
The instructions apparently are….
1. Find 5 new Blogs that you find interesting
2. Notify the 5 bloggers that you are recommending them as part of BlogDay 2007
3. Write a short description of the Blogs and place a link to the recommended Blogs
4. Post the BlogDay Post (on August 31st)
5. Add the BlogDay tag using this link:http://technorati.com/tag/BlogDay2007 and a link to the BlogDay web site at http://www.blogday.org/
Blogs I’ve learned a ton of information from:
Christy Tucker – Experiencing E-Learning
Angela White – A Nice Cup of Lizard (fairly new to blogging, we started roughly the same time, is begining to implement an LMS, we are roughly starting on this at the same time too)
Cammy Bean – Learning Visions (I love Cammy sense of humour, she’s almost a year into blogging – Sept. 28th – I think I’ve learned something new from her each week)
Cathy Moore – Making Change – Ideas for Lively Elearning (I stumbled on Cathy recently and I love all the tools and tips she keeps sharing with the blogosphere)
Big Brother 8 – Okay this one is just for fun….but I cant’ help it…I’m addicted to the show. Go Evil Dick, Go!
Thanks for including me on your list. When I started blogging, I don’t think I really grasped how much of a community it can really be. I’d been reading political blogs for a while because I enjoy the alternative perspective, but I’d never felt connected to any of it. Reading smaller individual blogs, plus writing and actively participating, have given me a totally different understanding. It wasn’t something that I really “got” until I started doing it myself.
Anyway, I’m rambling now, but I really was trying to say that I’m glad to have found your blog and that we’re both part of this community.
Thanks for including me Tracy! I feel like we’re all office mates in a big virtual office and can shout questions at each other across cubicle walls…it’s great for someone like me who works at a small company — I get to be part of a larger professional community without ever leaving my desk.
Thanks for including me on your list. Like Christy & Cammy, I’m enjoying the sense of community that comes from blogging, and the openness to new ideas.
Tracy,
Thanks so much! I feel really honored. I learn so much from you and your blog. I do hope we can support each other through our LMS implementations. It will prove interesting I’m sure! Cheers!
