Blogs & Blog Readers

The blog reader that I decided to use is Bloglovin’. I like Bloglovin’ because it keeps you updated on all the information the blogs you are following are posting.  You can get the app on your phone. I checked the other ones on the list (Feedly, Bloglines, Newsblur, DiggReader, and Newsvibe, and I felt more comfortable with Bloglovin’ because it is easy to use.

These are the blogs that I am currently following:

A Leisure Moment is a blog written by Deitre Helvy. I decided to follow this blog because this blog presents meaningful reviews as well as reflections about literature to the readers. It contains reviews about children books, middle level and young adult fiction. You can find the following blog at: http://www.aleisuremoment.com

I Am A Reader, Not A Writer is a blog written by Kathy Condie Habel. As the title states Kathy loves to read, but not to write. What I like about this blog is that the reviews are simple and straightforward. On the reviews you will find her opinions about the book. This blog has recommendations on what to read, book blast and book tours. You can find the following blog at: http://www.iamareader.com

Library Educated is a blog where you can find book reviews, silly lists, author highlights, themed books lists, genre highlights and posts about the creator of the blog. Since I am a Science teacher I am curious about science things all the time. I like that under themed posts she has a section called space week; there she provides information about interesting things about the space. You can find the following blog at: http://www.libraryeducated.blogspot.com

Primary School Library Diva is a blog written by Tula Shamhart. Something interesting I found about this blog is that it has a section called book challenge. Here the students can pick a reading challenge and start reading the books on the list provided. This is something that I will consider to add to my blog whenever I become a librarian. You can find the following blog at: http://www.primarylibrarydiva.blogspot.com

Last but not least is Library Patch. This blog in my opinion is unique it has so much information that a teacher and a librarian can use. This blog is written by Sonya Dykeman. This blog contains lesson plans, research, teacher resources, virtual bibliographies and so much more. It also contains a section for freebies you can find online. You can find the following blog at: http://www.librarypatch.com

Tumblr is a platform where everyone that creates an account can post text, links, quotes, audio clips, videos and images. Similar to Twitter, posts made by people you are following will show on the dashboard. I created an account on Tumblr.  I plan to post things about science since I am a Science teacher; I think this will be a great place where students can find information about Science. Later on when I become a librarian I will create an account for my library. You can find my blog on: http://nancy031681.tumblr.com
