But reading blogs is one of the things I like to do.
It is very nice to read what other people are sharing, their solutions to problems that are similar to yours, what things are they using and/or reading.
So far, my favorite blog is The Daring Librarian http://www.thedaringlibrarian.com/
I like it because this lady besides to be a librarian is very tech oriented.... wow! she has posts about the latest gadgets for library and gives you ideas of how to use them.
But I liked the best is the post about Creativity Centers with Legos and Ducktape. I think is very interesting... our children sometimes are not expose to their imaginative and creativity side.
She has postings for all the technology trends, vines and videos, you name it....
I will keep following this Daring Librarian!!!!!

Other blogs that I liked were:
The Busy Librarian http://www.busylibrarian.com/
Surprised to see a guy between the girls!!! This gentleman is a teacher librarian (I like the title) and is technology oriented too. But also has wonderful suggestions for books at any level, podcast with authors and a post about Teach Math with the Wii (sounds very interesting!!!).
Kiss the Book http://kissthebook.blogspot.com/
In the description explains that this site is for reviewing books from K-12 levels.
They have a sections called Library Advisory were you can find list of the best books by year, ratings, criteria and a section of labels where you can search books by subject and theme.
If you are a librarian, it has a section for Accelerate Reader what it is and how to use it.
Library Learners http://librarylearners.com/
Library Centers? You bet! This blog has great ideas and suggestions for Library Centers and how to use them (even in SmartBoard).
It also show games online that work with library skills and freebies for teachers (hey! who doesn't like free stuff?).
And also shows different programs and applications that you can use for making reading books more interesting.
Free Technology for Teachers http://www.freetech4teachers.com/
Richard Byrne is the author of this page that is focused in technology and tutorials of how to.
He has a label for alternative to Youtube, how to create websites, i-pad applications for school and free resources that you can use in your classroom and library.
Lisa Von Drasek http://www.earlyword.com/category/childrens-and-ya/
In one of my classes I had to gather information and to follow a Library Leader, I chose Lisa Von Drasek (curator of the University of Minnesota Libraries).
Mrs. Von Drasek is consider a leader in Children's and Young Adults literature, and her blog post most of the time the newest publications for these audiences.
Also, she is one of the few (that I now) that follows and talks about the connection the audiovisual materials created based on Library Books.
Each of this bloggers have interesting suggestion that can be used in the classroom and library, that helps you to find resources concentrated in one place and not to be wasting time searching for sites and ideas.
Another think I liked is that this bloggers are constantly posting, some blogs I visited hasn't have any new postings since 2 or 3 years ago. Posting is vital to share and read new ideas and resources.
By the way.... I use Bloglovin'....
These are great and a nice way to let us know the ones you found most interesting and helpful. I like that you tucked your recommendation in at the end, too!
