Like most who would read this blog using an aggregator, I spend the majority of my time reading educational blogs and sources. But who else do you read? How diverse are your feeds?
I keep a list of librarians, administrators and other school related bloggers in my aggregator, not because I’m particularly interested but I like to be able to show others what is possible. If we believe that students will be able to transfer the experiences and skills associated with blogging, we need examples of real world of bloggers that cross cultural, societal and vocational lines. Do you know of blogging doctors? lawyers (beside Larry Lessig)? mechanics? parents? plumbers? store owners? car salesman?
My list of non-educational bloggers is pretty weak. Here are a few:
- Dave Weinberger: technologist and commentator (this one really doesn’t count)
- Scott Hodge: Pastor from Chicago. Stumbled across his blog a year or so ago and enjoy his passion for Starbucks coffee and his church
- Freakonomics:authors of the best selling book continue to see the world from a very different perspective.
This list isn’t very diverse. Is yours? Does your mechanic blog?
