1
Find a blog directory that caters to the education industry. Navigate to your favorite search engine and type in "blog directories" or "blog directory" (without the quotation marks). Usually once you click through to a blog directory, you can narrow your search further by selecting appropriate categories or entering your subject into an in-site search field.

Use a blog search engine. Blog search engines are similar to regular search engines in that you use them to find information, but blog search engines only search blogs, so you can use them to find specific information within blogs. Once you find an education blog, you can browse through recent posts; if you like what you see, subscribe to that blog or add them to your blogroll to keep up with what they're saying. Two examples of blog search engines can be found in the following Resources section.

Ask others in the industry for recommendations. If you know people who are interested in education, ask them what blogs (if any) they read. Send out an email to your network asking them to respond with links back to their favorite education blogs.
