The first blog I evaluated was Will Richardson's blog. I used Kathy Schrock's evaluation guide. (I have to give her some love here - I use her as a resource constantly! I have her page bookmarked on all computers I use, work, home, school! If you haven't had time time to go there - make the time! It is an awesome resource! ) ">http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/
I really liked the template to evaluate the blog but had trouble loading it to my post. (Can anyone help me figure this out?) So I gave up and decided to type my post the old fashion way.
The URL of the blog was http://weblogg-ed.com/about and the title was Webblogg-ed. As far as content - this blog was extensive and comprehensive. So much so that I could have spent hours reading, linking, and analyzing. The author's credentials and authority seemed very clear and authentic. I didn't find any obvious grammatical or spelling errors, nor was there any extreme bias. It is full of great, informational posts. I have since subscribed to this blog and I am going to make an attempt to follow it (maybe after summer classes are done!:))
I agree with you Micki. I could spend hours on Will Richardson's blog. There is so much information it is mind blowing. I always think to myself if this is all they do, work on blogs all day. I find it hard to find the time to keep my own up. Time always seems to be the number 1 factor for me.
