Reflections on Teaching

I’ve already blogged about Lorelle Van Fossen’s post on blogging prejudice. In that post I pointed the finger at others, now it’s time to point the finger at, well ME, and ask people to point fingers at themselves.

Lorelle asks a pertinent question, then makes an interesting statement…

Do you only visit Christian-indicated sites? Or restrict yourself to only Muslim blogs? Do you stick with only the fundamental versions of these religions and their bloggers or open yourself up to the more reformist or open thinking bloggers? Or do you limit yourself to only blogs by bloggers in a specific country? Or do you only read blogs that think the way you do?

I doubt it.

She doesn’t think bloggers are limited in their reading, but this is the very complaint that Tim Holt made about the edublogosphere, that we don’t listen to other voices, and it’s been voiced before. I’ve already listed my picks for adding diversity to your edublogroll, but what about other blogs?

A recent find I’ve made outside the box is Rejecting Your Reality (and Replacing It with My Own). John is a Christian, and posts on his beliefs, but not in a way that I, or others, may expect. He’s…eclectic — blogging on John Wayne (favorably), a minimum wage increase (favorably), and Jerry Falwell (really unfavorably). Check out the bumper sticker post for a hoot.

Who do you have on your blogroll/feed that is has a Technorati rating under 1,000 (heck go for under 100) and is not edublogging?
