Educator Blog Comparison

I compared David Warlick's 2 Cents Worth http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/ to Brian Crosby's Learning is Messy http://learningismessy.com/blog/. Although I am not an expert on blogs, my initial response was that Warlick's blog was that of an expert and Crosby's was average. However, after spending more time on each, I will keep my same opinion of Warlick's blog, but have changed my mind about Crosby's. According to Kathy Schrock's evaluation guidelines, Crosby's blog passes the test for being a reputable blog, so I took a closer look. Crosby appears to have some very good credentials, has been a presenter at numerous technology-related conferences, and has won some awards for his work as well. What I found useful with his blog is that he provides examples of what he has actually done in his classroom, he discusses what has worked for him and isn't afraid to share and question what hasn't worked or what went wrong.
David Warlick's blog is a tremendous resource for the big Web 2.o picture. I have no doubt he is an expert in the technology field. I have heard him referenced at the ITEC conference and got sucked into his blogs immediately - jotting down notes for future use with my colleagues. His blog is very professional, yet has a personal flare. He poses information that gets the reader thinking. I plan to revisit both of these blogs, but will be will be checking Warlick's on a regular basis!
