Thing 3 Blog Search Tools

Here I am again, wondering why it has taken me so long to explore and respond to the search tools.  I've tried many of those listed and haven't had much luck in locating specific topic blogs.  Not that I haven't been successful at locating interesting reading about education and web 2.0 tools, but I feel I'm getting there by accident and wonder if I'll be able to locate them again.  ( I have bookmarked some and figured out how to add them to a folder on my bookmark line.  I also can't wait to set up a Delicious account so that I can use that for these sites.)

While searching through the blogs, I was specifically looking for elementary media centers.  One of the searches on Technorati, I think, show videos about halfway down the page.  These seemed more specific to what I was trying to locate.  I watched a video a boy had made telling how bored he was in the media center surrounded by all of those books.  You could hear voices and laughter in the background, so in my opinion, this probably wasn't a completely rigid place to be, but to him, there was nothing better to do than to make a video about how bored he was.  It made me think of those students who seem to waste their time when they are in the media center, finding nothing of interest, who leave with no book (or one I've convinced them to take).  With all of the resources that are available in the media center, all of the students should be able to find something to their liking!  My new goal!
