An article I found that of interest is titled "Ten Technologies for a Tech-Savvy Teacher to Use in A Laptop/Tablet Classroom" at Technology & Learning. I was reading this article because it relates to the same topics as 23Things. The article is looking at the vast web2.0 resources teachers have available. When I read articles like this I'm always impressed by the number of new web tools or sites that I was unaware of. It is hard t keep up.
Well shoot - this article led me to another article called "Top 100 Educational Blogs" on the Online Education Database site. I have a lot more reading to do than I have time. Thank goodness for RSS readers that will allow me to skim and pick the things of interest.
For me an RSS reader or aggregator like Google Reader is a killer app that I can't adequately do my job without. It allows me to stay in touch with resources and leaders in Instructional Technology in a way that time would not permit without this kind of tool.

I agree with you! How did I live without Google Reader =)
It does make me feel like I'm more out of touch than I thought. I thought I knew alot about technology in the classroom and I am finding out more and more that I was wrong. It's a little overwhelming and I am not sure where to start, but blogs and wikis seem the way to go. Now...to just figure out how to implement it...
I love the way you can get a peek into the thought processes of some of the most forward-thinking people in our profession by reading their blogs.
You're right - Google Reader rocks! :-)
