I currently aggregate 237 <span>edtech<\/span>&#8211;<span>ish<\/span> feeds (some more ed than tech and vice versa). I found out about a few of these <span>blogs<\/span> during past <span>Edublog<\/span> Awards. Each day, that brings some 150 posts into <span>Bloglines<\/span> for me to browse. While I skim through 90% by just reading the title and a few lines after, there are a several <span>blogs<\/span> that I get excited to read. By the way, posting frequency is NOT an important criterion for me. I would rather read a few thoughtful and inspired posts a week (or month) than be force fed a daily dose of self-righteousness. For me, the inspiring <span>bloggers<\/span> not only separate the wheat from the chaff, they also passionately reflect on their interests &#8211; no matter who (if anyone) is reading.
