I’ve often made an end of year posts reviewing my blogging. I though this year I might review my blog reading. These are a few of the sites I’ve enjoyed. The blogs I try not to miss and some I would love to be able to emulate.<\/p>\n

Cogdog blog<\/a>. Alan’s blog has been a constant in my life for years. Discussing sharing, sharing WordPress code and more wrapped in a real life with a real voice. I follow Alan wherever he roams.<\/p>\n

Read Write Collect<\/a> is my main education hosepipe filter. Aaron reads and comments on a huge range of educational and web tech blogs wrapped in a tasty IndieWeb coating.<\/p>\n

I spend more time on the gentle, eclectic Micro.blog<\/a> community\/aggregator than social networks nowadays.\u00a0@smokey<\/a> is a one man community engine nearly every week he produces a post with a list of posts and pictures he has picked out<\/a>. A few of us tried this for a while, as far as I know @smokey is the only one to have kept it up.<\/p>\n

I love Tom Woodward’s Weekly Web Harvest<\/a> which I think might be auto generated from pinboard. The rest of the blog<\/a> certainly isn’t auto generated but is a must read too.<\/p>\n

Scripting News<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom Smith, I follow across twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and now his blog<\/a>. Creative Chaos.<\/p>\n

ScotEduBlogs<\/a>, an aggregation of Scottish Educational bloggers. I run this as a gift<\/em> to the community, but also because it means it is easy to read great stuff from across Scottish education at all levels.<\/p>\n

I read a lot more via RSS<\/a>. My twitter browsing has decreased but I have a couple of private lists one called regular & one for primary classroom folk.<\/p>\n

I continue to find some really good resources on twitter. I do wish more of the teachers sharing would use a blog. (much easier to keep track of, organise etc). If they are in Scotland they could join in ScotEduBlogs too.<\/p>\n
