Since the start of EETT and our last session on blogging, I have been pushing myself to venture more into cyberworld. The main area of focus for me has been on networking. I started a goodreads account and joined linkedin. In both cases, I was invited to join, but just never did because I didn't see the purpose. Now that I have done it, I'm starting to understand.
Goodreads allows me to get recommendations for books from people I know and it provides some accountability for my reading (If you don't add anything for a while, it tells you to Get Reading!). It can also serve as a bibliography of my reading with summaries and comments. LinkedIn helps me find former colleagues and classmates and forms a professional network.
I'm starting to understand why people spend hours on the computer during their leisure time.... Anyone else have a suggestion for a site I should try?

Well, not to beat a dead horse, but I actually do encourage you to look at some of the exercises in School Library Learning 2.0/Classroom Learning 2.0. It gives you a broad range of networking tools, even if you choose not to employ all of them. I have found del.icio.us to be very helpful, for example.
I read very few blogs, but one of the ones I do peek at sometimes is Blue Skunk Blog by Doug Johnson. You might enjoy poking around in edublogs, too.
And now, back to my (virtual and print) worksheets.
