RSS Feeds and Newsreaders with Google Reader

I really enjoy seeing the other blogs in the class.  It is fun to see what others are doing and I get many good ideas on what I can do. There are many benefits to knowing how to use Google Reader, and it could be helpful as a librarian in keeping up on the latest information through RSS feeds and Newsreaders.  I picked the following blogs:
1) The Daring Librarian http://www.thedaringlibrarian.com/
I like this blog because of the way the librarian explains how to accomplish technological tasks in a creative and fun way for her school faculty and staff.  The illustrations are bright and the explanations are often shown in a comic book style format.  The way she communicates with the staff about being technologically on board is humorous, yet quite direct.
2) The School Library Journal Blog http://www.slj.com/slj-blog-network/
This Journal has a lot of information about libraries that could be helpful in many ways.  Some of the articles written for the month of March include Adult Books 4 Teens, Battle of the Books, and Good Comics for Kids.  There is so much good information given on a monthly basis.  A librarian could not go wrong reading this on a regular basis.
3) The Blue Skunk http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/
This seems to be a blog that addresses issues for a whole district.  The posting I viewed gave a checklist of what students should know and to be able to do technology wise by the time they are a freshman.  I liked how specific his post was.
