Blogs and Blog Readers

Hello blog friends and colleagues, 

A feed reader is essential in keeping your information at the tip of your fingers. Being the instructional educational leader of the library media program one has to be up to date with educational innovative ideas around the world. A better way would be setting up a feed reader and having one place to look at all your favorite blogs.  After reviewing some great ones, I decided to go with Feedly. My reasoning is that it is very versatile, user-friendly, and on the go accessibility. You get to customize it to your liking which includes applications, blogs, news, and videos to name a few. In addition, it is very user-friendly when adding blogs to your feed, it is literally at a click of a button. Also, its accessibility is phenomenal it offers web-based compatibility along with iOS and Android devices. Compared to other feed readers this has a sleeker and cleaner design with user-friendly accessibility. I was able to create it without a problem, being a newbie myself. Finally, this feed readers is perfect to be able to expand it with your specific tastes in educational innovation around the world. Not to mention it is free! I enjoyed creating it and look forward to personalizing it with literature.

    Your blog is very clean--lots of white space, and not too busy. I think it looks great. I liked Feedly because of the few clicks it required, too. I was looking for one that was good for newbies as well. I ended up going with Bloglovin' because of its design. It seemed like a social media website, and of course, that look and feel is comfortable to most people because it's what we're used to. Good luck this semester!
