Since I have to read and follow different blogs I needed to search for a RSS feeder to help me stay organized. There are many RSS feeders to help us stay organized and put all our favorite blogs in one place. I decided to use Feedly because it is very user friendly. I was able to familiarize myself with how it works and with the features very quickly. I am very pleased with Feedly, it is a great resource to help us keep all our blogs in one place, I searched topics that interest me and when I found what I was looking for I was able to save them or add them to my feed. It gives you the option to place them in different categories, such as books or library. Not only does it allow you to do all that, but it also allows you to save the article you are reading and even highlight important passages in the article you are reading. Overall I recommend Feedly to everyone who follows different blogs and need to stay organized!
The following are the blogs I chose to follow:
Great Kids Books
This blog reviews children's books, books for children ages 4-14. The author is a school librarian who has a love for books. She blogs about books that have to do with current events. Her most recent post was on books to help teach children about the eclipse, she also posted links to great videos about the eclipse. She also has (on the side bar) great summer reads and best books of the year. Great Blog!
School Library Journal
The School Library Journal is the world's largest reviewer of books, multimedia, and technology for children and teens. This is a great resource for librarians and future librarians to stay up to date with current events that make an impact in the lives of librarians and children. It has the most popular articles to stay current and be informed of things that are important or changing in libraries or political changes.
The Horn Book
The Horn Book I found very important in the life of a librarian that is why I decided to follow it. It has reviews of books and as I was reading the blog it also has reviews of great apps for children. This blog also has articles of people who are making a difference with books and are trying to raise awareness with different issues.

This blog is written by Gwyneth Anne Bronwynne Jones, she is a media specialist and she also puts on many presentations throughout the United States. She is really big on technology and she writes great things about how to implement technology, she offers tips and tricks for those who do not feel very confident using technology.

Tumblr is completely new to me. I did set up an account and I am currently enjoying exploring Tumblr and becoming familiar with it (mariagonzalezuniverse).

I also follow "The Daring Librarian" and I really enjoy what she tweets! All her tweets are about technology and since I do not consider myself a tech savvy, all her tweets help me to understand better the technology world.
