Thing Eleven: Searching

This thing revolved around using different search engines to find blogs and relevant feeds.  Personally, I found Google blog search the easiest to use.  I use Google on a regular basis and searching for blogs was just as easy as searching for anything else!  I was amazed at how many blogs were found upon doing simple searches like "Web 2.0 for teachers" and "technology in classrooms".  Topix was a little harder to use but I imagine that is only because I am not as used to using it as I am Google.  With time and practice I think I may be able to get a better grasp on it.  I found so many feeds leading me to lesson plans, fun activities, and stories of other teachers experiences that I could use to shape my own classroom and teaching methods in the future.
