Do you teach? Do you like reading blogs in your limited free time? Here are some great blogs I found while scouring the interweb!
Created by Ruth Ayres and Stacey Shubitz, two writing teachers who live 565 miles apart, this blog offers ideas for inspiring students to write.
From the author of The English Teacher's Companion is a blog that will amuse and inspire you. Jim Burke is famous for assisting teachers with his insight. His blog will not disappoint you.
Written by Ariel Sacks, a teacher in Brooklyn, New York, this blog features reflections on teaching. A recent post reveals that she attended a televised event on NBC. I found this teacher's reflections intelligent and thought-provoking.
This article lists the top twenty teacher blogs in varying categories, including "Best for Tech Wannabes," "Best Hands-On Activities," and "Best Tell-it-Like-It-Is." The latter is my favorite of this collection. Written by Mimi, this candid, hilarious blog is titled "It's Not All Flowers and Sausages." I can agree with the author's comment in the introduction: "Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but sometimes a girl has gotta vent."
Do you want to join the fun of blogging? Try these sites
to create your own blog:
I personally really like blogspot. It is very easy to create new posts, the background choices are neat, and the site is free. Get started here.
Calling itself "The Most Popular Education Blogging Service" may make this site appealing to you. The home page boasts the site is used by major universities such as Stanford and Cornell. It's also free, and your students can blog on Edublogs.org, too. Here are Ten Easy Ways to Use Edublog to Teach.
Wordpress is also a free blog site, and I've noticed many blogs have been created using wordpress. One thing that makes Wordpress special is the home page; it features other Wordpress blogs you may want to follow.
This blog site allows you and your students to blog for free. This one is also advertised as being safe because it does not use student email addresses.
