I had a difficult time finding an educational blog that interested me. A lot of the ones I found were over my head. The articles that are written more professionally are hard for me to understand. I find myself reading and re-reading. I prefer to read educational blogs that are easier for me to read.
After a lot of searching and clicking I found a few educational blogs that were interesting. I actually used the Google Blog Search to find educational blogs that interest me. I searched for first grade teaching ideas and found Teacher Knows Best. This is a first grade teacher’s blog where she shares teaching tips she does in her class. I also found a blog Scholastic has called Classroom Solutions. This blog is not active during the summer but from looking back there seems to be lots of great ideas for all grade levels. The last educational blog I added to my Google Reader came to me. As I was searching for educational blogs I got an email from The Mailbox that had a link to their blog. I like this blog because the post is about a main topic and then other teachers comment on it to share their ideas. For example here is a post on Coins for Teaching. I got to read about how other teachers are teaching all the different new coins.
My guilty pleasure is reality TV. Using the Google Blog Search again I found a blog I have heard of called Reality Steve that gives spoilers for reality TV shows. Right now the main one is The Bachelorette. I like reading what he has found out and comparing that to what happens on the show.
It has taken me "years" to develop my Reader. At first, I just chose feeds so that I could learn more about Reader and accomplish that "Thing." Now, I have learned how better to skim what is in my Reader, plus I only follow sites that really "Wow" me when I come across them.
