I've subscribed to "Michigan Education Association's" Facebook updates, which will allow me to keep up on my state's association news. Submissions on state budgets and educational changes are the types of blog articles I find here. I also subscribed to "Inside Michigan Education," where I can find information outside of the state association. This site covers topics from various aspects of Michigan education, and focuses less on issues and instead reports on interesting happenings in education.
I found several great subscriptions to sites related to the arts, and many specific to art education. The "Latest Activity on National Art Education Association Elementary Division," allows teachers to converse with one another, connect, and share information. My "National Endowment for the Arts" subscription allows me to find information about the arts in general, as well as connections to various art professionals outside of education. "The art teacher's guide to the internet" is a fun blog site that is used as a tool for sharing varied information with art educators, and includes great links for art educators. I've also subscribed to the "National Art Education Association's wikispace," to access information for and about the 2009 National Convention.
Finally, I've also subscribed to "Videos Related to Full Sail University," to view media created by staff and students at my college to keep up on assets created for educational uses.
I expect to keep adding to my arsenal of blog subscriptions. While checking various websites for all this information can be overwhelming, it will be nice to have subscriptions to these sites which will only update me when something new is added to these sites. That allows all of this information to be consumed as time allows, which is great, because I find all this information can be an overload, and overwhelming. The fact that these resources are free and can be used when I want to use them is comforting.
