Blogs to Read

There are several educational blogs that I've read, enjoyed, and passed on to others.

Dan Meyer is a math teacher.  He does incredible things, especially with real-world math.  He also challenges notions of traditional schooling.  I like reading his stuff, even though I didn't teach math. If you do teach math, I think you will find it a wealth of ideas.  http://blog.mrmeyer.com/

Donalyn Miller is a middle school language arts teacher.  Her ideas on teaching ELA are really good, especially when it comes to encouraging reluctant readers. http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/book_whisperer/

Randy Rodgers is a technology specialist in my district.  He constantly posts web tools and challenges to use them. It's a really good resource for Web 2.0 technology.  http://randyrodgers.edublogs.org/

Michael Smith is a superintendent who writes about the daily trials of educators.  Nothing particularly earth-shattering, but so funny that I never miss a post. (When I began reading, I read every post back to beginning.) Plus every once in a while he throws something thought-provoking in.  http://www.principalspage.com/theblog/

Want to see how students blog?  Great source for demonstrating to teachers how students can create effective blogs. http://students2oh.org/

Will Richardson, blogging and Web 2.0 guru.  http://weblogg-ed.com/

David Warlick, another Web 2.0 guy who will challenge your thinking (in a good way).  http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/

Plain fun.  http://bionicteaching.com/
