Part of the Goals 2010 Challenge Series, Goal 4
One of my goals this year is to continue to support my Personal Learning Network (PLN), especially the new members! One way is to support new bloggers. Let’s face it, we love when we read thoughtful responses to our posts even when people choose to disagree with us. Comments motivate most bloggers to continue blogging. Without my readers I do not know if I would have surpassed the six month mark. I am still aiming for this blog to reach a year young!
#NewEdBlog
Therefore, I started a hashtag for new education bloggers. If you are a new blogger (less than a year-old) or know of a new blog, please leave a link and possibly a Twitter handle with the hashtag #NewEdBlog. Jerry Blumengarten, @Cybraryman1, has worked diligently to help me collect the new blogs on his website. Starred blogs are new blogs. If you are not on Twitter, then just leave the link to the new blog in the comments below and I’ll let Jerry know to add it to his collection!
Leave a Comment on a New Blog
For today’s challenge, I encourage you to leave a comment on a new blog! You can be updated with new blogs added to the hashtag, #NewEdBlog, by subscribing to the list I update on Google Reader, New Education Blogs. This is the recent list with links:

Thanks for the link and comment Shell, I’ve been meaning to actually get past a couple of posts on my blog for a while now.. I think I’ve got a useful subject now…
Hi Shelly!
Thanks for the opportunity. I’m starting a blog and as soon as I have it ready, I’ll let you know.
Regards,
Marisa
My website A Reader’s Community (http://areaderscommunity.blogspot.com/) was begun just before Christsmas ’09 (into it’s third week now)
I just started a math blog (www.croitz.blogspot.com) in the last couple of months. I follow your blog and love it. You always have great ideas. I just recently began another blog on 21st century technology for non-techy people (www.roitz.blogspot.com). I feel like blogging is opening up a whole other world for me!
We’re new at this (started this summer for our staff) and would appreciate feedback!
TLC: Teaching. Learning. Community.

I started a blog last month called Comfortable Tech for Educators. You guessed it, I really want to help teachers get comfortable with social media and Web 2.0. I’ve had some great mentors along the way and I’m still learning. This is my way of paying it forward.
Hi Shelly,
I actually started reading your 30 Goals e-book this week and found the ideas really motivating – once the flotsam and jetsam have settled I’ll try and give some of them a go!
I started blogging in January here:
http://mikeharrison.edublogs.org – lesson plans, ideas, and comment on teaching ESOL in the UK.
Many thinks for this!
Mike
Thank you so much for doing this

Thank you for the post – really useful to think about hashtags – I shall use them more.
My own main blog
http://colleenyoung.wordpress.com/

http://edudemic.com/ This is another blog you could add to cybraryman’s website. It has been cited multiple times on Twitter, but I didn’t see it on the “list.” Working on #30goals…thanks for the challenge!
I am grabbing this bull by the horns and running with it! I have also passed this challenge along to our district curriculum coordinator and principal! Woot!
