My first experience in looking at the blogs was, "watch out, avalanche! There is so much information that suddenly rushed upon me.  I looked at three different blogs without really seeing anything.  There were no trees just a sudden rush of images and titles.  It began to slow down and I was able to stop and look at one of the articles and there was something there.  On the blog titled "THETHINKINGSTICK" was an idea that I had never considered,  "Does your EQ pass the google test?".

What a great question for an educator and really a lot simpler than the normal way that the hierarchy of questions are asked.

On the whole though one of the most interesting things I noticed about the various blogs was the variety.  I would label some blogs advanced.  That is the blog had such a great variety of information that, while I am sure that someone could build up a tolerance, on first impression as a novice I just had to immediately back out.  On the other hand there seems to be more novice sites.  I was able to read view one article, or one part at a time.  For me this made it much easier.

On the whole though I find that the blogs are much like doing a Google Search, just how much information do you have time to view.  Because no matter how much you look at it there is still so much to look at.

  1. OK. I value your commentary and personal reflections, plus you comment on the content -- all of that is good. You are right that the list includes an array of content, from novice to advanced, which is a good observation. On the whole, I would look for a little more substantive discussion of the content in the future, but this is a good first effort. :-)
