My co-worker and friend Susannah introduced me to Bloglines a while back and I'm hooked. Just this week I officially changed home page to my Bloglines to help me keep up with my reading.  
 
When I first started using Bloglines, I added a ton of links but quickly realized I couldn't keep up (I still have way too many!). I also realized I don't really need to keep up. For me, it is helpful to simply skim the headlines and read only those articles that interest me. One way or another it is a fun and easy way to keep up with current information and relate to others ideas.  
 
One topic that caught my attention this week was the upcoming K12 Online Conference. It is "the first annual convention for teachers, administrators and educators around the world interested in the use of Web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice. This year’s conference is scheduled to be held over two weeks, Oct. 23-27 and Oct. 30- Nov. 3 with the theme “Unleashing the Potential.” There will be four “conference strands”– two each week. Two presentations will be published in each strand each day, Monday - Friday, so four new presentations will be available each day over the course of the two-weeks. Each presentation will be given in podcast or screencast format and released via the conference blog and archived for posterity." It promises to be an interesting event!
