Community college presence in the blogosphere

I am currently taking a qualitative research class as part of my EdD - Community College Leadership pursuit from Western Carolina University. We just finished a "mini-project" where we developed a research purpose of personal interest, gathered a small amount of data and completed an analysis of the data.

I chose as my purpose: "What is the community college presence in the blogosphere?" and performed some document analysis of blogs I located through Technorati and Google Blogs that were by or about community college educators.

This was a very rough and incomplete practice project (my first with a qualitative model), but I learned a tremendous amount. Based on the assignment scope, I stopped once I had identified seven community college blogs.

Since I believe in multi-tasking whenever possible, he seven blogs identified for my class projects have been added here as components of my Community College Blogroll. I have every hope that I find and add many more blogs from educators interested in community colleges.
