After reading the blog post on the
12 best RSS Reader apps (at the time), I decided to use the one at the top of
the list, Feedly. Though all apps seemed user friendly, I decided on the most
popular one because it is likelier I could find help with using it if
necessary.
Here are the 5 blogs I began to
follow:
1.
The Absolutely True Adventures of a School
Librarian – This blog discusses library display strategies as well as book
arrangements. I chose to follow this blog because I found the title incredibly
interesting. Most people see a librarian’s job as boring so reading about a
librarian’s adventures seemed really interesting.
2.
The Adventures of Library Girl – This site
offers ideas for developing interest in reading among kids. I chose to follow
this blog because it was the first one to show up after searching “school
library” on Feedly. I figured it must be very relevant if it shows up at the
top of the list.
3.
Library
Displays – This tumblr page has a collection of possible library displays. I chose
this tumblr page because it was created by a high school teacher (like me), and
I thought this would help me get display ideas later.
4.
Mr.
Library Dude – This blog discusses ideas about the library and technology in
the classroom. I chose this blog because I found the information on fake news
interesting and appealing. Though I did not read past that, I really enjoyed
the format and writing style of the author.
5.
The
Library Patch – This site has tips for elementary reading and is created by an
elementary librarian. I chose this blog because it seemed geared towards
something I know very little about. I thought it would be good to familiarize
myself with it since I have no experience in that field.
