Educational Blogs

I was surprised to find hundreds of blogs dedicated to teaching or to using technology in the classroom, but finding a blog to follow proved to be harder than I expected.  There seemed to be so many blogs that it was difficult to sift out useful ones.  Many blogs contained good information, but were not kept up regularly.  I hadn't thought about blogs as a source of information for teaching, but it's a great way to share ideas. As a future teacher I can use blogs to to find helpful tips, get ideas on activities, or to learn what not do.  I enjoyed the following blogs.

    It was hard for me to find a blog too Mayerly. There was lots of reading and searching. I noticed some of the sites were not only not kept up regularly but some of the links didn't work anymore which was a bummer. But they are great tools for teachers though.

    I had the same problem as both you and Marina, Mayerly! I guess I need to search a little further to find a good blog to follow. It seems that I can find loads of blogs on crafting stuff, so maybe I will try a different approach and search for educational art projects and see if I magically find blogs on the subject. I think my problem was that I was using the word "blog" in my search. Maybe I could have better luck if I just searched for a topic and then skimmed to see which search results were connected to a blog. Hmmm...

    I think it is also a great way for teachers to learn from one another. Even in other states where teaching may be far ahead of us, since we do live in Alaska. I loved the website you chose to follow. I thought it had a lot of great ideas.

    I went to the blog you'll be following, and I found many fun ideas. I never would have thought of awarding my students for their technology projects. I think it would be cool to have students make a stop-motion video, but I have no idea how to do it, so this blog would be nice at explaining it too.
