Seriously though, who has time to web surf?
It’s ironic. When The Academic Aesthetic first rolled his furl feed into his regular blog feed, I asked him to create a light version without it so I wouldn’t have to scroll through all his furls in order to read his content. He complied, which was quite nice of him to say the least. Of course, I never quite got around to unsubscribing from the old feed and subscribing to the new one (curse you Bloglines for not allowing me to simply edit a feed url). To be honest, I’m really glad I never did.
He has found a ton of educational sites that I have found extremely worthwhile and have never come across in my own surfing. The great thing is, but subscribing to his blog, I’m also able to take full advantage of his own surfing and bookmarking habits. Instead of spending hours searching for good educational sites, I can just subscribe to his feed and reap the benefits of it.
Today I came across IKnowThat.com through his feed, which has a ton of activities for primary students separated out by subject area. Who knows whether I would have ever stumbled across this site on my own, but I’m certainly glad that he found it and furled it.
One more testament to the power of blogs and community.
