Happy Blog Day 2007.

Here’s five blogs that have been going for less than a year, that I find interesting:

Mobile Technology in TAFE - Sue Waters is a passionate addict of new technologies and combines her job of finding out about e-learning, m-learning and Web2.0 with that of lecturing in fish farming. Right now she is competing in the 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge.

Uncontrolled Vocabulary Ok, so it’s a bit like calling Big Brother a web site, but it does have a blog and it is new. The main part of Uncontrolled Vocabulary is a weekly podcast that anyone can join in, discussing issues in librarianship raised in the media and online during the last week.

When Convention Fails - New Worlds can be Found - Here is Zane’s description of what his blog is about:

My mum is a lecturer in marketing, advertising and international business. Mum also knows more than I realised about the online worlds I am used to - myspace, online gaming - X-Box and Playatation as well as knowing alot about tools and other things that I did not know existed.
I am a year 10 student in Melbourne Australia and have not had a great time at school due to having chronic fatigue for along time.
Mum gave me a choice to continue in formal education for the remainder of this year (at school) or to work alongside her, learning what I need to and more - that is what she told me.
I have decided to let mum guide me and will be learning from home, using social networking tools and technologies as well as other online materials, mum has found.

Al Upton and the Minilegends A class of 8 and 9 year olds at Gelenelg School in South Australia who are using a blog extensively in their classroom. They each have their own blog. Check out their “6 word story challenge“.

Virtually a Librarian: Kate Davis, who has run a couple of sessions about millenials and libraries moved from the National Library of Australia in mid-July to the Gold Coast. Looks like it sparked her to set up her own blog. I look forward to more from her.
