In going through this class, it is evident that blogs are more than just thoughts about the weather or latest celebrity scandal. Blogs can be a very important educational tool for both the students and the teachers. Teaching has to be one of the most rewarding careers there is. It can also be the toughest on the souls of teachers.
So You Want to Teach? http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/
This blog is more of what I thought a blog would be, like an online diary. But there is one difference. It is about teaching experiences, not personal ones. It is current and asks good questions about why people want to teach. One example is the post Ten Things I Wish I Knew as a First Year Teacher. Teachers spend a few years learning how to become a teacher. This gives some insight as to what someone would want to know in their first year of teaching, not seven years later. The site is easy to navigate. It contains different areas of information for teachers, lending all different kinds of support and ideas. I would recommend this site to new teachers.
Ask a Tech Teacher: http://askatechteacher.wordpress.com/
This blog is clean, easy to navigate and filled with great information. This site would be an excellent resource for teachers who may be stuck in a certain application, Microsoft Excel for example, and could go there to look for help with it. There isn't a lot of color, but is interesting. There is just the right amount of color and contrast to please the eye. I would recommend this site to different levels of colleagues as it could be helpful to all ability levels and experiences.
