What a fab activity ! Well I already have several blogs identified on my own blog in my ‘ blogs I follow’ list and it is soooo hard to try and narrow these down for this particular activity. I think I will stick to three particular blogs that I follow regularly and try and explain why.

Blog 1 :

This is a blog by the lovely Professor Martin Weller. I love his blog for a couple of reasons. a)  It is simply very readable. Martin blogs regularly and you can always be sure of an entertaining and thought provoking read. b) The posts are very authentic, open and from the heart c) Martin is of course incredibly ‘ big’ in the open world and very well known. He has a very far reaching network of followers who also have lots to say about open education so you get a lot for your money as it were !
