Blogs for Teachers

Written by Jonathan Orr

Blogs for teachers. Again a shameless self promotion, but you can check out my Anatomy and Physiology Blog portal. What makes a blog portal different than a blog. A blog portal is a website that allows me to host individual blogs for all of my students, instead of all of us sharing one blog. The company I used to create my portal is 21publish. It is here that my students reflect about what they have been learning and reading in anatomy and physiology. It has become a very productive learning environment with multiple comments occurring. In my opinion if you want to get students to read, make them publish their thoughts on a blog. Then they must link to the sites where they are getting their ideas, and they cannot write intelligently about the sites until they have read them.

Now I am looking down my RSS feeds in Google Reader, what do I share??? Here is a list of blogs I read about technology in education.

• 2 cents worth - David Warlick
• edu.blogs.com - Ewan McIntosh (I had pizza with him and Marco Torres on the last day of BLC07)
• Ideas and Thoughts from and EdTech - Dean Shareski
• Think:lab - Christian Long
• Webblog-ed - Will Richardson (I was tech support for one of his sessions at BLC07)
• Practical Practice - Dr. Tim Tyson
• Educaiton, Science, and Technology - Jonathan Orr (ME :)

I recommend any of these sites to teachers and administrators.

Just for fun:

Blogs

How exactly, are you supposed to limit to one particular blog? I don't know.

Beyond the NYTimes I haven't found an author who I am willing to read over and over again. But I've tried to complete the assignment, and I find it pretty exciting to see the possibilities and extensive work people are doing. When do they get the time?

Brian's Education Blog
At first I thought I might have found something worth a check with this blog from Brian Micklethwait, but it kind of follows my initial thoughts of "when do they get the time" His most recent post was August 27, and before that was January 2005. Not to say that things he has (or had) to say are not relavant anymore, but I'm sure some of the issues will change, and I believe the currentness of the blog, and comments are what make it more powerful.

For much more up to date blogs, I think I will be subscribing to:
Cool Cat Teacher Blog
and
Education/Technology - Tim Lauer
I can't really comment much more than to say they both have current, September, posts and look to be very readable.
