This is a screenshot (taken by Jing, not a digital camera...hope that is okay, Carrie!) of my Google Reader subscriptions. Google Reader has totally changed my life and my ability to stay up-to-date on all the current trends in technology, children's/YA books, and everything teacher-librarian. I am not sure how much you have already talked about Professional Learning Networks (PLNs), but this is a huge part of mine. Google Reader allows you to have a one stop shop for all the blogs you want to read but cannot remember all the URLs or do not want to have that many links in your bookmarks. (I believe Blogger also has this ability, although I am unsure if you can only subscribe to Blogger blogs or any blog.) There are many people in the library media profession that I consider my rock stars and with technology I can stay up to date on what they are doing in their classrooms, new technology trends/resources, what cool new books they have read, etc. I would be lost without my PLN and am so thankful technology has allowed everyone the ability to share their great ideas.
