Blogs and education

New ideas about blogs

What I’ve pulled for you today are blogs divided by subject and grade level for you to quickly reference, but I do encourage you to explore blogs outside of your curriculum, as well. Some are classroom blogs. Others are teacher reflections. A few are teaching strategies with classroom resources, and there are even some from outside education, but relate to your curriculum.

I cannot guarantee you will be able to reference all of these blogs while at school, as I am aware many school filters limit access to blogs. Please, do not let that discourage you from investigating, however. Take the time to check these out. Hopefully you will find inspiration and wonderful ideas.

If you own a blog or know of another one that would fall under this list, please consider adding it to the comments. The better the list, the better we all will benefit.

You can also create your own edublog here, it has a lot of tools that teachers may need http://edublogs.org/

There is also a community where teachers post their experiences, activities and more http://teacherlingo.com/
