Educational Blogs

It has appeared to me that I have gotten lost in time while looking at all these different educational blogs, and reading different things they had to say. One blog I found interesting was the Spiral Notebook Blog. I found the blog entitled, "A Classroom Web Page is a Must-Have in 2008" rather interesting. The blogger mentioned the importance of teachers having a blog whether it is encouraged by their school or to just make one up on their own. Having a blog is a great way to get wonderful tools only a mouse click away for one's students. This particular blog went very well with what we have been learning about in our Tech. in Ed. class. It was a reminder that I need to include technology in the classroom, not just for myself, but to help educate my future students with the best material that I can. Here is a link to the Spiral Notebook Blog.

Another blog I found interesting, well maybe a better word for “interesting,” is passionate. This blogger had a lot of passion for seeing a change of increased technology in classrooms. When I first started reading this blog, I found it odd but a little amusing if I may say so. Immediately, my attention had been captured and I was so intrigued that I needed to know where the blogger was going with her whole cup cake thought. After the youtube clip of Les Miserables “final song,” she really got to her point (well, at least it was the point that really got me). She was mentioning how...well, maybe I should just let you read the blog for yourself. Sorry, if that was mean, but I think it is worth reading, and make sure to watch the youtube clip (that way you get the whole experience). All I will say is "will you have earned the right to sing in the finale? And will you be a person who has promoted positive, wise, change?" Here is the link to the Cool Cat Teacher Blog.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!!
