Hi Lisa,
thank you for adding my blog Onlinesapiens to your blogroll.
I have your blog on my feed reader. I also use and recommend FeedRaider and also GreatNews, desktop feed reader.
I keep my bookmarks on del.icio.us
I am using Explode and MyBlogLog to find and network with new friends.
You can also use del.icio.us for sharing bookmarks and networking.
Lean how to use Del.icio.us in Education (you don’t need to use Firefox)
Finally I would like to recommend ELGG’s Eduspaces for blogging and networking.
I hope that you enjoy my recommendations
Eduardo
Hi Lisa,
I recently found that Ning social communities:
Library 2.0, with 800+ members
Classroom 2.0, with 140+ members
are great for networking and making new friends. I am just a member of both communities
