I started my search by reading the Cool Cat article and then continued to the Edublog's website. I chose to look at the 2010 Best Educator blog of Teacher Tom. He shares an interesting viewpoint on various subjects and I enjoyed reading his posts. I found it odd that at the end of his posts he says that he works hard on his blog and asks for donations. As I continued to look at Edublog, I got into the nominees for 2011 and long lists that were not categorized. I decided to leave and look elsewhere.
Google Blog Search turned up "TBA", short for Teaching Blog Addict. This blog has over 5000 followers so I decided to look around. I liked that it had subjects listed by category and looked into the Math section. There were a lot of posts and freebies here, some very good ideas. Each of these posts led me to the individual poster's blog.....so I guess that this is some sort of blog portal. I subscribed to this, a very good resource! I noticed that this blog also had an icon for Pinterest, which leads me to suggest to all of you to sign up! I have found some great teacher blogs and resources here!
On Topix, I mostly found governmental issues and when I searched for teacher blogs I found articles about teachers getting into trouble with their blogs, not actual blogs. Technorati didn't have an education section and it was hard to find a teaching blog, so I cared for this website the least.
Google Blog search was probably the easiest to navigate, but to be totally honest, Pinterest is just as easy and my favorite for find teaching blogs.
