Educational Blogs

When browsing through blogs looking for an educational one to follow I realized how many people blog throughout the world.  It was hard to sort out the good blogs that were kept up regularly from the ones that weren't kept up.  The blog that really caught my attention was called The Teachers Desk, http://www.theteachersdesk.com/, unfortunately the lady who writes it takes the summer off from what I can tell.  Right now though there is a cute posting from an anonymous subscriber about the next season of Survivor and how it will consist of business men and women running and planning a classroom of 20-25 children day to day.  It was well written and got me thinking about everything that teachers do to prepare for each day.  Another blog that I perused was EDTECH, http://edte.ch/blog/, this blog had a lot of information but I just had an overall harder time navigating the site causing me to choose another blog to follow.  The blog that I think I will follow for the rest of the semester was called 2cents Worth, http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/, and is written by David Warlick.  The blog contains thought provoking posts that pertain to countries around the world.  As I browsed through his blog I felt that I could learn something from following it more regularly.  His two most current posts were about Finland's schools, and why textbooks should stop being textbooks.  Both of these really caught my interest and made me want to read more of his posts.
