The easiest method I found to find blogs was Google Blog Search. Since most people are used to using Google to answer nearly every problem they have, I think that it would be the easiest blog finder for nearly anyone. One blog I found that I thought would be important while I was using the Google Blog Search was Special Education Law Blog. I think having this site will help me to stay up to date on the laws I will have to deal with when I am a Special Education Teacher.
I also kind of like Technorati. Although it wasn't as simple as Google, I really like how the user could choose between searching for actually blogs or blog posts. By using this I found a pretty interesting cite about special education called Teaching All Students.There were also several other blogs that I could have subscribed to that I found through this finder, including Riley's Smile. An interesting blog that I found that nearly made me laugh out loud when I read the title was Life, Ninja Killer Cat and Everything Else. This blog has some pretty funny stuff to keep the reader laughing, however it also has a lot of serious information about Autism.
The site that I found most confusing, or more so annoying, was Topix. When I went to the cite it took me a little bit to find where I could search and when I clicked on it a spam survey popped up. I am afraid to use this site too much just in case if it gives my computer a virus. I didn't bother trying to look too much farther to find a blog that I liked using it. I also felt the same about Syndic8.
I also found a program that you could look up blogs but it seemed pretty complected even though it says it's supposed to be easy. One list I found seemed to have a lot of promis for a special education teacher, 50 Best Blogs for Special Education Teachers. Overall I thought this was a pretty useful assignment in order to help me find blogs that will help me in my career.
