More To Come

As we close out our blog assignment it is fitting to reflect on my experience.  It was a hard adjustment for me knowing that I had a global audience that could read and comment, so that put on more pressure. All writing assignments should include research, creativity, and an overall theme that is interesting to the reader.  A teachers’ blog should provide students with information as well as encouraging tips, interactive resources and guides that will engage them to want to learn more.  I came across many teachers that have remarkable sites dedicated to education.   

These are three that I have bookmarked and wanted to share. 

           

#3        http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/education_futures/

Education Futures: Emerging Trends and Technologies in K-12; this blog is embedded in the Education Week’s website.  It is written to introduce new trends and technologies in the K-12 classroom.  He wrote an interesting entry entitled “The Business of Lesson Plans”.  It was about the new taboo trend of teacher’s selling their lesson plans for profit which is frowned upon.

#2        www.scienceFix.com
This site was designed by a middle school teacher with the last name of “Fix” hence the name.  the blog contains science lessons, example experiments, and provides scenarios on how to use science to break down other concepts.  

#1        www.ed.gov/blog

This website is named “Homeroom” in reference to the first place in school that students obtain important information.  The blog contains updates regarding school initiatives, and topics such as: parent and family engagement, success stories, and standards/assessments. 

Overall the blogging experience has been a creative outlet to share ideas and experiences.
