After adding some initial blogs, it really has opened a new world to me. I've had very little experience blogging before 23 Things. I'm so amazed there are millions of people with thousands of topics interacting in a way I wasn't. It feels weird to just realize there is a Google Blog Search!
There are things at the blogs like "digg this" or "clip/blog this" that I'll have to explore to see what they mean. So, not only is blogging and RSS new to me, but also the jargon that goes along with them.
I can see how this will all be helpful in keeping me updated on new things related to many areas in teaching for example: learning disabilities and RTI. There is information right at my fingertips. It's going to be a matter of finding time, because really it's not that I don't have access to updated information in my field; just that I don't make time to read it!
Depending on what my purpose is when blogging, I could see how I'd want a more reliable source for news ex. at CNN vs. Joe's political babble. I also like the idea that I could get feedback on a topic from an online community of people with similar interests, personal and professional.
